Quidnunc

Quidnunc is a noun that refers to a person who gossips or a busybody. Our word of the day comes directly from the Latin phrase ‘quid nunc’ (KWEED NOONK) which translates to ‘what’s new.’ A quidnunc is someone who very much wants to know what’s new at all times — especially as it pertains to juicy gossip. I had no idea Veronica was such a quidnunc when I moved into the neighborhood. Before I had even settled into the house, she knew all my my illicit past of having multiple overdue library books.
