air rage

[Barnhart]

The connection of the "rages" may be rather shakey in some cases.  This
happened with -gate in which there is not always an effort to cover up
a wrong-doing or shady scheme.  (For air rage see BDC 12.1 [e.q.:
1996].)

Other "rages" include: Black rage (DC 10.1), e-rage (DC 12.2), PC rage
(DC 12.2), road rage (DC 10.3), roid rage (ODNW2), Web rage (DC 12.1).
