Gossip Guy

Girls are known for gossip. But, going to an all boys school taught me a few things:

1. Being a boy is awesome.
2. Boyish attitude is always acceptable.
3. Boys gossip.

There are 2 styles of gossip. Girl gossip and Boy gossip I'm gonna explain the differences and show you what is and isn't gossipapably acceptable. Yes, gossipapbly is a word.

Girl Gossip

-Behind the back: Girls enjoy the oh so common "Pass a note" and "Whisper at a Locker" techniques of gossip. Where they literally pass a note reading "Jenny is going out with Craig!!!" and then whisper it to the next girl while reapplying lip gloss

-Girls use sly timing and positioning strategies: They'll will (rather cleverly) whisper about poor Jenny right in front of her!! Why? Torture and Abuse.

-Lack of Confrontation: They will NEVER admit to gossiping. And if they do they'll never say who THEY heard it from.

Boy Gossip

-Up front: We use "Yell across room" and "Blunt annunciation" meaning we YELL the gossip through hallways, classrooms, locker and bath rooms with no qualms at all "HEY DUDE, Craig's going out with that chick Jenny" Even if the subject is IN THE ROOM.

-Whenever Wherever: We'll say it; in class, at the locker, on the bus, during passing, and anywhere we please cause well we don't give a damn who hears it actually the more the better

-CONFRONTATION: We will (when gossiped about) go right up to the 'bro' whos talking about you and go "Have you been f*^&ing telling people me and Jenny are going out?" And we will go "Yeah" followed by a reason like: She's hot, She's Ugly, She went out with..., Her brother is.. 

Guys will always back it up with reason AND their source.

Girls are catty. Boys are obvious. Girls are hurtful. Boys are blunt. Girls enjoy it. Boys love it too.

And people make the assumption that boys DONT gossip well we do and it travels twice as fast because of our audiences of dozens and anywhere anytime policies. 1700 boys at Chaminade start a rumor? You have 4 periods. better hope it doesn't come back to bite you.

P.S. Locker room talk isn't gossip. It's "bullsh%t" it doesn't count.
