Correction, Mr. Popik: Your etymological research is perfectly

legitimate; some items interest me, and some don't, but they are not

outside the domain of the ADS, and you do not NOT belong on the list.

Read again what Tim and I commented on: The little made-up dialogues

add gratuitous (and, to some of us, tasteless) humor to an otherwise

quite acceptable report on -gate words and other etymologies.
