Plural of gossiper; multiple people who spread rumors and talk about others' affairs.
Simply the plural of gossiper, formed by adding the standard -s suffix.
Groups of gossipers have always been recognized as powerful social forces—from medieval village gossips to modern social media influencers, they shape what everyone knows (and thinks they know) about each other.
Plural form inherits the gendered stigma of 'gossiper.' Collective use ('gossipers') reinforces the stereotype of women in groups as untrustworthy or trivial.
Avoid using the plural as a blanket category. If needed, specify behavior: 'people who spread rumors' or 'people sharing information.' Name individuals by role or observation.
