Women are more skilled than men at making gossip entertaining.

Men gossip for just as long and about the same subjects as women, but tend to talk more about themselves.

Gossip is conversation about people.

But sometimes the women writers will pitch something and I'll hear it, but the men will keep talking.

Women are more complicated communicators than men, who have a tendency to pronounce and bloviate, and that makes for better writing in talky work.

Gossip is essentially storytelling: storytelling about people whom we know.

Researchers have found very little difference between men and women in terms of the amount of time spent gossiping.

Gossip is called gossip because it's not always the truth.

When it comes to gossip, I have to readily admit men are as guilty as women.

Gossip, even when it avoids the sexual, bears around it a faint flavor of the erotic.
