This is my pet peeve for the day:

Faux Suffixes

I am getting bloody well sick and tired of every political scandal being referred to as "_______gate," and of every summer festival being termed "________stock."

GODDAMN!

When will people cease being such unoriginal bastards?

If this continues to happen without surcease, I may just have to dedicate my life to inventing a time machine, and convincing concert organizers to use nearby Acra, NY instead - that'd be hard to turn into a suffix! Then I'll move on to talking Nixon's buddies into checking into the Topaz instead. Yeah. Let's just see the pundits try to bitch about Monicapaz or trooperpaz!
