-GATE El escándalo del Watergate, que sacudió a los Estados Unidos en 1972, tuvo un gran efecto no sólo sobre la política americana, sino también sobre la lengua inglesa. De hecho, el término “Watergate” ha generado toda una serie de derivados donde el sufijo -gate se asocia a un nombre o incidente sinónimo de escándalo público. Así, “Irangate” hace referencia a la venta ilegal de armas al gobierno iraní por parte del gobierno de Reagan a mediados de los ochenta, y “Contragate” al financiamiento de la campaña terrorista llevada a cabo contra el Estado nicaragüense gracias al dinero así obtenido. “Monicagate” evoca el proceso judicial del presidente Clinton en 1998 como consecuencia de su relación con la joven ayudante Monica Lewinsky. No cabe duda de que futuros escándalos continuarán dando lugar a expresiones de nuevo cuño con este sufijo.
