Is it time to drop the suffix ‘gate’ when relating to political controversies. This originated with the Watergate scandal in the US but the building was called Watergate, some lazy journalist didn’t just pin ‘gate’ to the end of Water to make up a catchy word.

Now in recent history we’ve had Merriongate, Golfgate and in the paper this morning I see Zapponegate. Plus many more I can’t be bothered to find. We will never get to the end of political controversies but god willing we’ll finally close the gate on gategate

P.S

I take comfort in the knowledge I’ve wasted a few seconds of your life reading this

There's a big story brewing about an Irish actor and a tube of toothpaste.

Media sources have confirmed it will be referred to as Colgate
