In the U.S.A., whenever there is a political scandal with a president, we add "gate" to the end of a word to describe the scandal because of the name of the Watergate hotel where the then President's men committed crimes on his behalf in the early 1970's.

It has been more than 50 years that we have stuck with this odd tradition. I wonder if it will actually ever stop. I wonder how many young people actually get the connection now, and how many think that the Watergate scandal had to do with water.
