The Clinton–Lewinsky scandal was also known by which improvisational title?

  • Monicagate

  • Lewinskygate

  • Zippergate

  • Interngate

Answer

"Zippergate" was the colloquial name given to the scandal involving former US President Bill Clinton and White House intern Monica Lewinsky. It stemmed from the revelation that Clinton had engaged in inappropriate sexual relations with Lewinsky, leading to his impeachment by the House of Representatives. The term originated from the allusion to a zipper as a discreet reference to the sexual nature of the scandal.
