EN: gossip, rumor
The Philippines' unofficial national sport. It's the 'tea', the 'scoop', the 'what's the latest?'. Chismis can range from harmless updates about a neighbor to career-ending scandals. It's the social currency that binds and sometimes breaks communities. Remember: 'It's not chismis if it's true, it's balita (news).' - a chismosa, probably.
From Spanish 'chismes' (gossip).
Can be used as a verb 'nag-chi-chismis' (gossiping). The person who gossips is a 'chismosa' (female) or 'chismoso' (male). Often spelled as 'tsismis'.
