Subject: Re: Sexgate words

If people are collecting these, some of the British tabs have already used
"Naughtygate"; the sexual application of "naughty" is somewhat more common
in UK English than in US English. Like Zippergate, this is meant to echo
Watergate phonetically.

I don't believe (is my memory letting me down?) anyone on this list has
mentioned Monicagate, which I have also seen in the past couple of days.

Some tabs have been using Sexgate for headlines because they can use bigger
letters and still fit it in....
