To me, gossip is something I say about someone else in an attempt to injure the person I'm talking about.

For instance, I have a good friend that I can confide in and share things with that go no further, so I'm comfortable in telling her that 'Vanessa is in a situation she's having difficulty with, and really needs prayer in her life' and not worry about details.

However, I wouldn't say 'Vanessa is living with this guy and just found out she's pregnant, blah blah blah' unless that info is pertinent and Vanessa ok's me to tell her that info.

Anyway, that's not Webster's, but HO's dictionary works just as well.
