We have come all the way to the letter ‘T’ in the Blogging From A-Z Challenge. This rather staunch letter, standing proud and tall. It can be titillating,trite or even topsy-turvy, all wonderful words in themselves which I had considered, but I have found one that I love the sound of even more…..here we go then, let’s have a bit of….

Tittle-tattle. This is a gloriously gossipy word; the gaggle of women giggling over the latest rumour. The “Oooh you wouldn’t believe what he told me about Sue” kind of word. It’s the salacious slandering of Sue’s character that follows, giving her credit for things she would love to have been guilty of doing.

This is the boredom-fuelled banter of people that have nothing better to do than chit-chat, and create Chinese  whispers about others purely for their own entertainment, or to have a feeling of one-upmanship by knowing something nobody else does, regardless of whether of not it is the truth.

Now, I do love a bit of gossip like everyone else……now if I tell you something, you have to promise not to go  tittle-tattling!
