We were watergating the social media expert at the other table as he bagged on his former client... thanks for the tip!

Watergating

It's like tailgating but in the water. You also can steal some democrat party documents while you're at it. Hopefully get pardoned for all the hell you cause.

Jon and Devin went watergating before the Football game.

watergate

Any incredibly long, boring and mystifying process; something bad, tedious and of interest only to fools. A show put on for the public to convince them that the government is accountable and journalists have teeth. A settling of scores between rival corrupt elements of the elite. Also now used for any case of corruption, eg, Zipper-Gate, Monica-Gate, etc. Surely there should be a Gates-Gate involving Bill Gates - we just have to hope for that.

Woodward and Bernstein preen themselves that they brought down Nixon over Watergate, as if that would be allowed to happen! Nixon was obviously doomed for some reason we are not told about.

watergate

A male is receiving oral intercourse with a female before breaking up with the female performing the action. Meanwhile, a male friend is nearby by listening in on the act. When party "C" receives a verbal confirmation that party "A" (The Male) has reached the point of climax the party "C" joins party "A" and "B", surprisingly. Then "C" Punches "B" in the back of the head an proclaims as follows, "I am not a crook", throwing peace signs with both hands. After this "C" then runs out of the residence. Now "A" and "B" break up and legend ensues.

Watergate that shit

To cover something up; lie.

Person A: "Dude, I broke my roommate's laptop, he's going to be pissed.

Person B: "You've got to Watergate that shit, man, don't tell anyone, deny everything."

Person A: "kick-ass"

Stupid Watergate

1. "...a scandal that we've been referring to as 'Stupid Watergate', because it has all the potential consequences of Watergate but everyone involved is REALLY stupid."

A term coined by John Oliver on his HBO topical political commentary series 'Last Week Tonight' referring to the criminal conspiracy (collusion) involving Donald J. Trump Sr and Russian operatives to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

The term illustrates how inept and laughably transparent the involved members of Donald Trump's campaign and transition (including DJT) were at both perpetrating said crimes, and covering them up after the fact.

I can't believe how f***ing obvious the ties between Trump & Russia are, and how incredibly obvious these goons attempts at a coverup are. How the hell does 'House of Cards' seem more like an actual corrupt presidential administration and this farce of an administration seem like a laughably cheap over the top parody. Literally "Stupid Watergate."

Pull a watergate

Leaving the door unlocked with some sort of blockade (door stopper, tape over the locking mechanism, other examples) to avoid being locked out when you need to go into the room in the future.

This door locks me in, but I have to grab some equipment
Just pull a watergate and you’ll be fine!
