I'd be very happy to never hear a scandal described by having "gate" as a suffix.

[โ€“] jrubal1462@mander.xyz 4 points 6 days ago

Please wait. Before the suffix -gate goes away for good I want a fence-related scandal that we can call gate-gate. Then it can be retired.

I don't understand why is gate a suffix at all?

Or cyber as a prefix

[โ€“] JWBananas@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

A very useful word, though.

My knowledge of that "word" is the fact that it exists and that is all. There is nothing for me to unlearn.

The word 'due' as in 'due to covid.' I hear it everywhere now, especially from young people. I want the word 'because' to make a comeback.

the victim being trapped between two small boats, one inverted on top of the other, with limbs and head sticking out, feeding them and smearing them with milk and honey, and allowing them to fester and be devoured by insects and other vermin over time.
