New Rule

Stop using the "-gate" suffix to indicate a scandal. It's overdone and annoying.

This is a scandalous post. I shall call it Gategate.

erm....this post is definitely worthy of the term... Postgate. -- in multiple senses.

To commemorate the end of the -gates, I propose that we choose our favorite -gate scandal name.

I think mine is a tie between nipplegate and Harrogate ;)

Mine's a tie between Bill Gate(s) and Golden Gate.

Oh wait...

A romantic evening at home three years ago this April, I gave Mrs. Oxymoron a necklace.

In our household, this event is known as Pearly-gate.

Well, as Supa alluded, opbviously the preferred application is indeed:

Harrogate.

One wonders:
Was the _Million Little Pieces_ scandal ever called Oprah-Gate?
