Psst!? Excuse me?
Psst! It’s what you might say before telling someone some juicy goss. Oh, I see: “Psst” being the word that precedes the gossip. But no, that would make it antegossip. Like antechamber, or antenatal …
Or antelope? Or is that when a couple of ants (12-)leg it to Gretna Green … Stop it! And no, we’re talking anti-gossip.
Like antifreeze, or the antichrist? A bit, I suppose, in that it’s the opposite.
I think we’re going to need an example. OK … so I saw Thandie Newton the other day.
I love her! Where? At the fishmonger.

Driving through Ripon, North Yorkshire, last week, Hayley Blaymires was surprised to see thousands of birds swoop in spectacular formations across the sky.
She had heard people talking about starling murmurations, which this year have been happening unusually close to the centre of Ripon, but this was the first time she was seeing them for herself.
Blaymires was so impressed that the next evening she took her two children, aged three and five, to see them too.
“It was mesmerising,” she said. “The kids thought it was fantastic and we wound the windows down so they could hear them cheep as they were coming over. More birds joined and it got bigger as we were watching it, making nice swirling patterns and changing direction. There were lots of ‘wow’s.”
