Cultural Note
Rumor works similarly in Spanish and English. The phrase 'corre el rumor' (the rumor is going around) or 'se rumorea que...' (it's rumored that...) are the standard ways to introduce gossip. In tight-knit Spanish and Latin American communities, rumors ('rumores' or 'chismes') spread quickly and carry significant social weight.
