.. If you can come up with a replacement for (fuckityfuck)"__GATE" in the mainstream media. If you can make up a new scandal ID and have it be adopted by the media and stick, I will give you one hundred count em motherfucking dollars. Plus all the change in my pocket.

I feel the same way about "chocoholic" or "workaholic." The reason it's called alcoholic is because the word is alcoHOL... it's not chocohol or workohol.

SO it should be choco-ic or work-ic.

I will give you $100 if you get chocoic or workic to stick.

Wouldn't it be "chocolatic"? That has a nice ring to it, actually, if you emphasize the third syllable.

And in answer to the thread question, no one will get this $100 because the only non-ridiculous thing to do is drop the "gate" altogether and start using English words to describe the situation.

xpost Ha, in college, during the Clinton scandals a friend and I complaned about the whole "-water" and "-gate" naming trend and suggested that scandals should be called "____ Dome" instead.

someone should photoshop the bush admin onto a picture of frankie's "welcome to the pleasuredome" album cover.
