There is some gossip, but I think complaints about gossip occur more often than the actual deed. Chatting about actual events isn’t gossip, IMO. Unverified stories and conspiracy theories fall into that realm.

The church I grew up in had a pastor that preached heavily on gossip, particularly when it was about his adultery. He accused folks of gossip so they would be afraid to discuss his possible termination.
