The latest one being "Dr. Strangelovean". Give me a damned break. How about using some decent style? If anything "Dr. Strangeglove-like" at least. Or better yet, make the point without trying to leverage a 60's movie.

Another peeve is the attempt to graft '-gate' onto something when a scandal emerges. Give it a rest you idiots. If you can't come up with an original name for it spare us your lame-ass attempts at buzz-words.
