Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rumors are unverified and unsupported claims or stories that may or may not be true, but are spread through word of mouth or other forms of communication. Gossip is similar but refers specifically to the spreading of personal or private information about individuals. Mass hysteria and panic are related to collective reactions to events or situations, but do not necessarily involve unsubstantiated reports or claims.
