En effet, le terme "Watergate" a engendré toute une série de dérivés où le suffixe "-gate" est associé à un nom ou incident synonyme de scandale public. "Irangate" et "Contragate" renvoient respectivement à la vente illégale d'armes par le gouvernement Reagan au gouvernement iranien au milieu des années 80, et au financement de la campagne terroriste menée contre l'État nicaraguayen grâce à l'argent ainsi obtenu. "Dianagate" fait référence à la parution dans la presse britannique de conversations téléphoniques d'un caractère très intime entre la Princesse Diana et un ami. "Monicagate" évoque la mise en accusation et le procès du président américain Clinton en 1998 à la suite de sa liaison avec la jeune assistante Monica Lewinsky.
