Gossip is conversation about people.

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

Gossip is what no one claims to like, but everybody enjoys.

What is the meaning of 'gossip?' Doesn't it originate with sympathy, an interest in one's neighbor, degenerating into idle curiosity and love of tattling? Which is worse, this habit, or keeping one's self so absorbed intellectually as to forget the sufferings and cares of others, to lose sympathy through having too much to think about?

Gossip is what you say about the objects of flattery when they aren't present.

People love gossip. It's the biggest thing that keeps the entertainment industry going.

The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them.
