In the 90's a comedian on Australian comedy show Fast Forward refered to French chef Gabriel Gaté as Gabriel Gates. There for I refer to any gate as a Gabriel Gates, or just a Gabriel.

A 'gate' like a farm gate or a boom gate.
Close the bloody gabriel gates Jack or the cows will get out..

I had to wait for a train at the gabriel boom gates...

Dam, I forgot to close the gabriel.
