Is this important journalism? No way. Is it funny as shit? I think so.

    I disagree. There is no such thing as a bootgate. Or the bootgate hotel. It is a silly made up word that is poor writing and journalism. The English language has plenty of descriptive words.

      You don’t get to disagree. You don’t have to like it but the formulation is used because it is succinct and immediately understood. And that is how language works, whether you like it or not.
