Saturday morning chuckle...

From the NYT

[...] The closest parallel is the moment in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" when members of a mob eager to burn a witch are asked by the wise Sir Bedevere how they know she's a witch.

"Well, she turned me into a newt," the villager played by John Cleese says.

"A newt?" Sir Bedevere asks, looking puzzled.

"I got better," he explains.

"Burn her anyway!" another villager shouts.

[...]

What do you call a scandal that's not scandalous? Nadagate.

I like "Nadagate"! Did you coin the phrase, as far as you know?
