I'd be very happy to never hear a scandal described by having "gate" as a suffix.

[–] jrubal1462@mander.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

Please wait. Before the suffix -gate goes away for good I want a fence-related scandal that we can call gate-gate. Then it can be retired.

[–] pineapple@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't understand why is gate a suffix at all?

The word 'due' as in 'due to covid.' I hear it everywhere now, especially from young people. I want the word 'because' to make a comeback.
