-gate

When referring to an issue that has has sturred up controversy and conflict, you call it '(X)gate' to both distance yourself from it, and to imply that you think the issue has been blown out of proportion.

For example a neighbour-feud over whose lawn should host the common garbage-can. In that case, the wife/wives could refer to the feud as 'garbage-gate'.
Eversince 'Garbage-gate' the two of them have been avoiding each other at all costs.

We were suppose to do a story on this issue, but then Stephanie-gate came along and everyone just turned their attention to that because it was easier to pick sides I guess.

Bill Gates Syndrome

When you sucked at school or dropped out while your friends didn't, either because you were lazy, poor, or slow (or a mix of two or the three).... and later on it turns out you owned them (whatever the meaning) and they're pretty much in shit.
Steven: Me and my brother both dropped out in 10th grade.. but 15 years later we now co-own a bitchass enterprise and make millions a year. Dylxseia can go kiss my ass.

Laura: Sounds like a case of Bill Gates Syndrome.. :P
