rumor, n.All

A Rumor often covers a lot of ground when it is groundless.

Rumor is a favorite weapon of the assassins of character.

Rumor is fueled by an almost uncontrollable impulse to pass it on to another person.

Rumor seems to circulate on its own because it is fueled by its indeterminacy, which constitutes its importance in social discourse and accounts for its communal adhesiveness.

Rumor travels faster but does not stay put as long as truth.

The Rumor has to be spread, because there is little else to do with one.

Rumor is like bees in that the more you fight them the more you don't get rid of them.

Rumor is when language is no longer a medium of communication and instead becomes itself infectious and communicable, causing things to happen almost as if they had occurred by nature.
