Question: What are you if you’re a quidnunc?
Answer: You are an inquisitive, gossipy person who wants to know all the latest dirt. It’s an early 18th century Latin term that derives from the question: “Quid nunc?” — meaning “What now?” It’s no longer in common use, of course, but it’s still perfectly accurate to use when describing that gossipy neighbor, the one who’s such a quidnunc!
