As far as the media is concerned, if you work too hard you're a workaholic, if you like chocolate you're a chocaholic, and if you go down the shops more than once a week you're a shopaholic.
Now for all the fucking lazy cunts who came up with these stupid buzzwords, let me fill you in on a little secret. You're an alcoholic because you're addicted to alcohol. Workahol, chocahol, and shopahol do not exist - stop fucking saying it, okay?
Same goes for everything-gate. Watergate was a scandal involving events which took place in a hotel (funnily enough called the Watergate) in the US in the 70's. There was no gate on Jenson Button when he tried to worm out of his Williams contract in what became Button-gate. Likewise there was no gate involved on Britney's flange during Panty-gate.
You do not append the word gate to every scandal that comes along, nor do you stick the word "aholic" on the end of everything someone can be addicted to.
