Hey guys I'm Becky! Welcome back to "Blabbing With Becky"
the best gossiping channel on YouTube
Okay so usually I'm the one giving the latest and greatest gossip on the internet
but today on BWB I'm gonna be teaching you guys
how to gossip in English
So you can be Gossip Queens just like Becky!
"To blab" means "To gossip"
to reveal someone's secrets
perhaps in a careless way but we don't care
it's a verb like: "On this channel we blab"
but "To gossip" it means the same thing
but it's a verb, noun, and adjective
and I'm gonna show you how to use it in some cool ways
For example as a noun
"I am a gossip" yes "I am a got a huge gossip!"
and you know what? I don't really care about what all of you say about me on Twitter
Yeah I read your tweets, Ashley!
But you know what? I don't care
Only Doug can judge me
Doug's my boyfriend
also when I'm telling secrets, "I'm SPREADING gossip"
remembering of course, that "gossip" is an uncountable noun
Which means not "One gossip" "Two gossips", "Three gossips". No!
You should say "Some gossip"
"I heard some gossip"
"Oh my god I heard some gossip from Becky today,
Becky is the best!"
if you really want to count the gossip
then you can say "a piece of gossip"
"I heard a piece of gossip"
and yes you can use it also as an adjective "Gossipy"
Ew I forgot, did you hear the gossip about Kim?
Yeah Kim who said that I was too gossipy
yeah well Kim smells her own farts
I've seen it, it's disgusting
and yes like a verb: Gossiping
"To gossip", "I gossiped"
okay so here are some really cool expressions about gossip that you can use
Okay when you want to ask for gossip say these things:
"Oh my god give me the gossip"
Okay this is the kind of basic version
and it's fine but there are better ones you can use like
"Oh my god dish the dirt!"
Okay but that expression is a bit more British, I know, ew!
but an American thing to say would be
"Oh my god spill!"
"Spill" from the expression "Spill the beans"
but we just say "spill" because it's cuter
this is a fun expression you can use with your gossipy friends
but a better one would be
"Oh my god you have gossip okay,
I'm sitting down okay, lay it on me, I'm ready"
"Lay it on me!"
I like this one, this one's fun
Okay before we continue, "a rumour"
A rumour is a story which is circulating
there's no proof that it's true, and in fact
it kind of seems like it's not true
although I will say I heard a rumour about Ashley
yeah she had surgery on her feet
to make like her toes bigger
because she wants to be a foot model on the internet
like I can't even with Ashley, she's so basic
Cool okay if you want to give gossip
then you can start using these expressions here
"Oh my god I've got some gossip for you!"
but that sounds basic and you don't want to be basic
so use these expressions they're a little better
a little cooler
our next expression is "A little bird told me"
Yeah, it's cute!
This expression is like
you don't want to say exactly who told you the gossip
so that person remains anonymous, like-
Oh my god, Jacqueline stop calling me!
Stop! I'm trying to make a video!
"Oh my god stop!"
So just remember-
Jacqueline what?
stop bothering me
Go kiss your cousin again
Yeah okay so a little bird told me that Jacqueline practises kissing with her cousin
She is so weird
Our next expression is "I heard it through the grapevine"
we usually use this expression when the gossip came from a certain group of people
For example
Oh my god okay a guy work with at Abercrombie, Jay...
Yeah I know I work at Abercrombie, I'm pretty I know
but I heard through the Abercrombie grapevine
that Jay is part of a cult
they paint faces on eggs
and they pray to the eggs for, like, good weather
or whatever
it's like so sad
our next expression is "Word on the street"
But this is a little bit old-fashioned, like, no one really says it anymore
So just say, like, "Word is..."
Okay so word is Jenny likes Rob
but she won't date Rob because of his forehead
she said "His forehead is SO big, it's more like a five-head"
Okay but don't laugh that's mean
Those are her words not mine
Thanks for watching I hope you guys learned some really cool expressions
