The problem with the “ghazi” suffix is that people died in Benghazi, which IMO makes it appallingly inappropriate and disrespectful to use “ghazi” for something as ludicrous, self-indulgent, narcissistic, and silly as the Puppy mess.
(Yes, I know, the Puppies seem to enjoy applying war metaphors to their pathetic scandal–also Holocaust, Stalinist, Maoist, and mass murder metaphors. I find their preening self-comparisons to unendurable suffering on a mass scale utterly loathsome.)
I vote for calling it Puppysteria, Puppymania, or Puppypalooza.
