Does every scandel need a "gate"?

The row over smear emails about Conservative party members and right-of centre bloggers has already been christened "Smeargate."

I hate this dumbing-down of events into "-gates"

What -gate shall we have next? Gardengate, where Boris Johnson is discovered riding a sit on lawnmower through the Buckingham Palace grounds? Tategate, where a minister imitates the comedian and offends people?
