Controversy and Scandal

Controversy= Something that makes you think, that is usually not accepted in society well.

Scandal=Something bad that society will be shocked at, and will feed the tabloids(usually happens to celebritites).

Examples....

Controversy... Should gay people be allowed to adopt children?

Scandal."Mayor Johnson is having sex with his wife's teenaged sister!"

I have more, but I cannot think of them right now!:p

Sleazy and Shady....

Sleazy is the guy who cheats on his wife with 30 different women.

Shady is the guy who sells you stuff out of his trenchcoat on the street....
