started out as "chalking 1 up". this is when someone states something funny. "chalking 1 up" is a tally and when someone receives 5, it becomes a gate.....now people award gates instead of singular "chalks on the board".

the gates, a rather famous art exhibit hitting the city of new york last winter, featuring large "saffron" panels of fabric on square frame, was most famous for its utter lack of point. While some art critics loved cristo's open-ended declaration of art, of allowing the viewers to make up their own meanings for the exhibit, others, and many civillians, were stuck by the utter meaninglessness of the project, as the pieces of fabric resembled lawn decorations.
also, more broadly, an example of anything utterly useless and ridiculous, on a grand scale.

I went to see the gates in central park last year, and didn't understand it.
This is as useless as the gates, man.
