No, gossip isn't always a false tale. Gossip is an activity done behind the person's back, whether the subject is the truth or a lie.Gossip--- I'm a bit confused about the whole gossip topic.The way I define gossip is when someone makes false
Gossip is mainly like telling other people on updates about other stuff or people. Some times it's true, other times, it false. Sometimes it's good, others bad. Either way, it's mainly updating other people about other things like dating, break-ups, tests, etc... it can be both bad and good at times.
I've always thought of gossip as something that may be hurtful to or negative about another person....even if it's true. A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself if you'd want it said about YOU...even if it's the truth.





Gossip can also be considered ';heresay';. If you pass on information about someone...good or bad...that you didn't hear from the person themselves. Stories have a way of getting lost in translation from one person to the next, and before you know it...the story's mostly false.





I like to think of it as making copies of something. The original document is always the purest representation...the first copy of the original is usually okay too...but then you start making ';copies of copies';...and eventually the quality of the document is total crap and you can hardly make out what it is anymore.
Gossip is talking about someone when they are not in your presence whether it's good or bad and it's a very not nice thing to do.
Gossip isn't always false. I think it can be defined as simply as talking about someone else, but there's usually a negative connotation, like, that you're not supposed to tell someone something and you do anyway. That's the way I look at it, at least.
Like someone else said, ';gossip'; has a negative connotation. But it's not always false. You can spread false gossip which is usually considered ';rumors';. But gossip can be just spreading any news that people might not care about, or that you have no reason to spread. For example, celebrity gossip... we can spread whatever we want about celebrities, whether it's true or not, but most people don't (or shouldn't) care, and we have no reason to spread it. I hope that helps some!
Gossip is when you are talking about somebody else's business when they are not around.
