Welcome back to "Blabbing With Becky," the best gossiping channel on YouTube.

Adverbs of frequency

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 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.

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!

"Oh my god, I heard some gossip from Becky today."

If you really want to count the gossip, then you can say, "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.

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:

Okay this is the kind of basic version, and it's fine, but there are better ones you can use like:

Okay, but that expression is a bit more British, I know, ew!

But an American thing to say would be: "Oh, 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."

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 rumor 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, ew, 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."

This expression is like you don't want to say exactly who told you the gossip, so that person remains anonymous, like-

Yeah, okay, so a little bird told me that Jacqueline practices kissing with her cousin.

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.

Our next expression is "Word on the street."

But this is a little bit old-fashioned, like, no one really says it anymore.

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."

Thanks for watching, I hope you guys learned some really cool expressions, so you can be a gossip queen just like me, Becky!
