Spreading rumours is our national past time

The recitation of grievances was strange balm.

An idle tongue is the mother of all conflicts.

A knife wound heals, but a tongue wound festers.

Those we murder with our mouths often live longest

The key to good eavesdropping is not getting caught.

I give boring people something to discuss over corn.

In small towns, news travels at the speed of boredom.

No matter what you do, someone always knew you would.

Few people are spoken of in the way they would choose

You said she's a senior? Babe we're ALL crazy.

society is unconcerned with the aftermath of sensation.

Bombay is a city where gossip is treated as a commodity.

Gossip never goes away, no matter where you are in life.

No one gossips about other people’s secret virtues.
