Please define gossip.

Give me a call and I'll tell you what everyone else is saying about what it is.

Not to be repeated of course.

Gossip is idle talk or rumor, especially about the personal or private affairs of others. It forms one of the oldest and most common means of sharing facts and views, but also has a reputation for the introduction of errors and other variations into the information thus transmitted. The term also carries implications that the news so transmitted (usually) has a personal or trivial nature, as opposed to normal conversation.

Sometimes it starts out "did you see that pic of his wife on AFF?"
