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'.
