New term for gossipers like you this 2011

Hello Syoti, No Offense too, but I have completely different opinion on this subject. Gossipers are gossipers, there is no way that these group of people will ever be concerned for the well being of a person. If they knew something very important and could be dangerous if it's told to any one,but they don't care as long as the word is pass on. as long as they can talk to some one elses problems except theirs.. Therefore, I completely DISAGREED that word since i don't think these people who spreads talks whether rumors or true are concerned at all. I wonder, what if the person you gossip to is a relative or a best friend of that person and you didn't know.

Wow. I like it more than "tsismoso/tsismosa" because it doesn't sound bad and offensive.

haha =D It's a nice change. I cant imagine that there can be such nice words with such a meaning?? lol =D I gues very soon, this world will be full of nice words with ugly meanings behind them.. lol =D I wont be surprised that even pretty, will have the meaning of "average looking" behind it.. lol =D It's a good change after all right?

I do like the sound of socially concerned, it sounds like not being offensive. So I wonder if there are disputes can we consider to be to socially indicative??

Hi syoti. You have a new avatar today. What ever the term will be for gossip mongers they still connote a bad impression on me. I have gossip mongers because some of their gossips are not true at all and they sometimes wreck relationships. Socially concerned as the new word for gossip mongers? not at all true, because they are concerned in destroying the personal lives of other people thru their unfounded stories not just social lives.

hello syoti, Thanks for sharing this, Socially Concerned is not bad after all it depends who people will take this in my place wherever you go you can encounter a gossipers oopppss....i mean socially concerned one being concern beyond the limits is not good anyway it's sounds more formal than gossipers :).\ have a nice day!

Personally to me this does sound like a better way to say this. Many times when it comes to what people might say sometimes the words can often be a little offensive or make no sense, and are often changing so if you just wait a little bit that thing might change as well. All I know is it can be hard to keep up and anytime you try to learn the New language or motto it changes on you again.

Okay, how do you pronounce that phonetically? I have never even heard of that word before. Honestly, truth be told, we all gossip. I don't know of anyone who doesn't. Men and women both gossip, just in different ways. And what you think might not be gossiping, might actually be gossiping. Also, gossiping can be informative at times. When I met my boyfriend, I knew nothing about him, but I heard my friends gossiping about him. I asked them questions about him because I wanted to get to know him better, but didn't know exactly how. I didn't want to scare him off, so I had to learn a few things about him via gossip. Some of the things my friends told me about him were right, but some of the things that told me were totally wrong. Stuff that was right, I used to my advantage, that stuff that wasn't, well, naturally, when we started dating, I asked him about some of the things I heard. Well, turned out, he had heard a few things about me, and some of it was right, and some of it was wrong, but again, it all gave us something to talk about. So, gossiping can be a good and bad thing.

Are you saying that the word "gossiper" will be changed to mean a person is socially concerned? if so, that is ridiculous. Gossip has always been looked upon as destructive and indeed it is! A gossiper is not socially concerned at all, they are mean spirited people who like to spread lies and rumors about people and the more misery they spread, the better. The only social concern they have is the amount of excitement and sensationalism they can generate. It's time to stop the euphemisms and call things what they actually are. I believe this was called "double speak" in Orwell's great book, 1984, where the populace willingly swallowed all such tripe and became complacent sheep.

No offence, but I think no matter what they are called they will stay the same inside. Maybe this new term will make them to be more polite? And of course it's good not to offend them, but hey still will be gossipers:D

that sound weird.. but you are right that every year occur new terms and words, especially among the teenager. they love to use some new words

Hi syoti: I like this way to call people. I think people sometimes feel "socially concerned" about at leas a subject Lol. XD. But honestly changing the word "gossiper" for "socially concerned" is just an euphemism. That means that we are just trying to use another word that means the same to make it a less offensive expression. So it's not about the words but about our action what make people what we are. ALVARO

Socially Concerned and Aware!!! Hahaha... Still gossip is gossip and by all means make or break a relationship of a family, friends, relatives, co-workers, etc... It's kind of a good term for people who likes to talk about others instead of themselves and minding other businesses as well. I just hope that they learn their lesson last year that talking too much is sometimes bad for your health and life as well.

Okay, at least now I know socially concerned it doesn't sound offensive sounds more concerned to others life [lol].

Still means that they are busy bodys that stick there nose where it dont belong!

Some words are offensive and need to be changed, but I do not like obfuscation. If we are going to kill a tree, let's call it destruction, not defoliation. If someone is not tall then they are short, not height challenged. I once taught a college class in remedial English and the administration insisted on calling it "Special" English instead of remedial. I said the whole purpose of the course was to teach people to communicate effectively and that the name of the course should honestly reflect that. But many of the students said they liked being called "special" better. I told them that EVERYONE is special, but that they wouldn't be in the class if they didn't need remediation. DUHHHH! Now they used the word "special" to refer to slow learners in the lower grades. I'll say it again. EVERYONE is special.

Socially concerned huh? That sounds like another way to put it. The problem is that most people will call it what it is, a gossiper. I guess people are so board with their own lives that they have to talk about other people in order to make their own lives look better or worse in comparison.

I believe in telling it like it is. If they are gossipers then that's good enough for me to call them.

lol...Yeah I like this new name, maybe we should name a site like this for all of "us" socially concerned people to gossip in! Hmmm...no, I think I like mylot better, more socially concerned people here on this site.

Haha, love it!
