Why do we call scandals gamergate, pizzagate, watergate, etc? Why don't we call pizza gate "pizza scandal" instead?

Watergate is the hotel where Nixon tried to steal some shit or wiretap someone or something, so they called the scandal "Watergate" after the Watergate Hotel.
A lot of scandals after that have had gate put on the end because it sounds kinda cool and people are by and large unoriginal.

Because journalists are lazy groupthinking scum who spout perfunctory drivel on an almost reflexive basis.
What was the one scandal that didn't gate the -gate suffix? The water in Flint. That would've made it 'Watergate' and they can't use that again. Not without renaming the Nixon era hotel scandal as Watergategate. Then their whole house of half-assed cards would come crashing down.

It became journalist jargon for any major political scandal that happened after Watergate. It eventually trickled down and became a meme for any scandal regardless if its a major political scandal or not

Why didn't they call Ferguson the Niggergate scandal?
Austin James
You are always so racist, user.
It should've been called Ferguson-gate. Or maybe they should've found a nearby hotel and named it after that. In&OutRoadsideInngate
