jimmy two times Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I've just heard the latest one involving Renault and Formula 1: 'Crashgate'. I wonder how the media coped with describing scandals before 'Watergate'.

Brendan Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I think it?s all some kind of conspiracy. Gategate, perhaps.

mockney piers Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I think mockneygate sounds more like an adjective than a scandal. The DaVinci Code? Surely you don't read such mockneygate nonsense?!Keefgate? Slash revealed to have a love child perhaps?

Keef Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Keefgate?

HonaloochieB Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 When carrying out jury duty a few years back the case from Smithfield we juried on was named 'Lambgate'.And not guilty if you're wondering.

SimonM Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I think before "gate" we just had "affairs" - "The Profumo Affair" for example sounds far more louche and entertaining than "Profumogate" would have been...

Windom Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 and if Watergate happened now they would have to call it Watergategate Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/8036-the-word-gate-at-the-end-of-words-to-describe-a-particular-scandal/#findComment-249397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadwolf Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 No Windom. After SimonM's interjection I think a more likely headline would be The Watergate Affair.

bigbadwolf Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 He doesn't scare me. Although I know the day is coming when he'll grow tired of my slurs against his homeland and subject me to one of the most poisonous, yet erudite put downs known to the western world. Many others will thoroughly enjoy it too.
