Seriously, we should probably be footnoting this stuff whenever possible. It’ll make it easier for grad students in the year 3000, and whatnot.
A scandal is a -gate. A natural event is -henge. Potential disaster is -geddon. Big event is -palooza. This is how we name things now.

Hopefully this averts a lingui-geddon at some future anthropalooza.
I thought it was only “-gate” if nobody died, with “-ghazi” being the new suffix if someone did die. Otherwise, yeah.
