A suffix added onto a word to denote a scandal involving the base word. The suffix originated from the Watergate Complex in Washington, DC where the scandal leading to the resignation of President Nixon took place. Watergate, strangely enough, was not a scandal involving water.

Examples include Strippergate (one of several scandals involving politicians and strippers), Nipplegate (the wardrobe malfunction at Super Bowl XXXVIII), and Maidgate (Meg Whitman's illegal immigrant maid).
Bill Gates: "Sup dogg."
Steve Jobs: "Not much playa, just tryin' to keep it gangsta."
Bill Gates: "I think I'm going to put up a new gate at my house."
Steve Jobs: "Oooh scandalous!"
Bill Gates: "No, not really, it's just a gate, like a door in a fence."
Steve Jobs: "What kind of -gate? Are you going to hire illegal immigrants to build it? Are you going to paint 'Google is Microsoft's bitch' on it?"
Bill Gates: "No, no, just a regular old gate. Not a -gate as in a scandal."
Steve Jobs: "I can see it now: Gatesgategate! Just make sure you chiggity-check yo self before you wriggity-wreck yo self, sport."
Bill Gates: "Riiight..."

An acronym for Pay Out Of Pocket. Refers to something that insurance (typically health insurance) doesn't cover.
That's a pretty sweet colostomy bag, but I'm not going to POOP for it!

Doctor: "Your rectum is blocked and we need to operate. Unfortunately your insurance doesn't cover it. You need to POOP."
Patient: "No shit I need to take a crap. Get in there and operate, dude!"
Doctor: "No, not crap. POOP."
Patient: "Same thing. Crap, poop, shit, drop a deuce, take a dump, drop off the Cleveland Browns at the Super Bowl, same thing."
Doctor: "Never mind. I'll send you the bill."

A combination nanny state and anarchy: A government that cracks down on trivial everyday things while letting actual criminals run rampant, failing to prosecute serious crimes. Example: San Francisco 2020 under DA Chesa Boudin.
John was caught breaking into fifty cars, dealing crack to kids, and stabbing a cop. The San Francisco DA let him off with $1 bail for these silly but harmless shenanigans. But then they caught him drinking through a plastic straw rather than a compostable one while celebrating his release, and sentenced him to 20 years in maximum security prison for committing such a serious felony. Just another victim of the nannarchy...

An abbreviation for Deutsche Bank AG, a German bank. The bank does not resent being called this - they actually use it in their official legal documents.
Paul: "Remember that German guy Wolfgang Schneidelberger from college?"
Ted: "Yeah, that guy really thought he was the cat's pajamas. What a Deutsche bag. What is that guy up to nowadays?"
Paul: "I heard he just got a job at Deutsche Bank selling subprime mortgage bonds to poor towns in third-world countries that don't know any better."
Ted: "So he's at DBAG, is he? Why am I not surprised?"
