how about just running late, all this gear about the place, just slip something on...arriving... oops...

You know when something happens in the news, some scandal or something, and the story gets branded with a 'gate' in the title? 


Well, here's Jacketgate!

The first one I ever heard of was water gate. So exactly what does gate mean in such matters, like a fence gate letting things in or rather out? I always wondered about it's meaning...

Watergate is just a luxury apartment building Amstel. Right on the nasty smelly Potomac.
And to think I use to jetski in those waters.
Whew. . . I need to take a shower.

I thought more of president Nixon, remember it was in the news days on end... I was only still little not sure what it all was about... just googeled, started with break-in at the Watergate office, it shows office buildings and a river indeed.

The name "Watergate" and the suffix "-gate" have since become synonymous with political scandals in the United States[11] and in other English- and non-English-speaking nations as well.[12]
