The "Gate" thing

Ok that is it, done, no more, the statute of limitations is up on the placing of the word "gate" at the end of every scandle. One it is obnoxious and two it is used discriminately for any scandle involving politics and too often celebraties. It is of course a play off of the Watergate scandle of the mid to late 1970's that brought down President Richard Nixon. The word gate was part of the name of the building in which the breakin took place.
However the used of "gate" to often used to discribe any scandle, very few of them are on the same level as Watergate. Also the used of such a prefix, sends the message that such is a major crisis and most of the time the scandles are minor, besides it shows a lack of total originality of journalist and writers who report of them so stop with the "...gate" stuff already.
