What is gossip?
- Can-can – it’s a form of trivializing things;
- Something you want to keep secret from a person;
- It is addressed to the person, not to the work;
- It’s an abandonment, a loss, an admission of failure – „I declare myself defeated, I have to say this, I have no other solution”. (although, usually, most often even, you have!)
For example the private life of a great author.
Another example: something someone tells you X said about you. It’s still gossip.
Another one: you say something about X, which you wouldn’t say in front of X, and which spoils his image.
It can be funny, but it’s a serious matter.
