rumors

A rumor is unconfirmed information that people are sharing with each other. It's usually something that sounds interesting or surprising.

Rumors can spread quickly through conversations and social media. People often repeat what someone else told them without knowing if it's true or not, so rumors can easily get distorted as they go around. Sometimes, a rumor is based on a small piece of truth, but it gets exaggerated or changed in some way until it sounds like something entirely different. This can lead to confusion and misunderstandings among those who hear the rumor. For example, imagine someone telling you that a new restaurant is opening on Main Street, and you tell your friend, who then tells someone else, who starts talking about it as if they know it's going to be a fancy French place. In reality, none of them knew what kind of food the restaurant would serve or even if it was actually opening at all.
