EN: gossip, rumor
The national sport of the Philippines. It's the tea, the chika, the 'what's the latest?'. From your kapitbahay's love life to a celebrity scandal, if it's being talked about in hushed (or not-so-hushed) tones, it's tsismis. It's the OG social media feed.
From Spanish 'chismes' (plural of 'chisme', meaning gossip).
'Tsimis' is a common alternative spelling, but 'tsismis' is the standard form.
