Does the fair sex(the fair sex: women) have the bigger mouth? According to UK-based study, you bet your sweet mildly contagious1 bippy they do.(bippy: an unspecified part of the anatomy2, usually used in the phrase You bet your sweet bippy) And now researchers have been able to figure out down to the minute how long it takes before a woman will spill the beans(spill the bean: tell a secret) on the secret you told them, it is 47 hours to be exact, the investigators3 polled 3000 women, that is a lot of women, (oh, yeah) and found that while four out of ten admit they can never keep a secret, two out of three claim to feel guilty afterwards, and the most telling finding: it takes woman just under two days before they give away your privileged info. Says director of the study Michael Cox," what we didn’t bank on (bank on: to expect) was how quickly secrets are passed on, every single Brit who has confided4 in a friend should be worried. He then told me that he killed a hobo.(What?) And I couldn't keep it to myself. (You!)(yeah, it's...)(yeah, you lasted a few minutes) Is there something wrong with this research, Andrea?
Ok, You hit the nail on the head (hit the nail on the head: to do exactly the right thing; to do something in the most effective and efficient way)when you said the Brit. It was done in England,ok? Most British women are drunk all the time, not that I judge, I think it is a great thing, but of course they are gonna be spill the beans.
Andrea, may I remind you that right now you are on the clock.
What do you mean I'm on the clock?
Ahh, how long it's gonna take...
For me to spill a secret?
47
Oh yeah
finally 47 hours is a little too long .
It depends on the secret and it depends on who told it.
But Joey, it is an interesting point, I disagree with this stuff, I do, I think that men are every bit as gossipy as women are ,but they do it when they are drunk, and they don’t remember the stories that they tell you like all of a sudden they wake up.
Who are you hanging out with?
They do it when they are sober.
We just have the diverse(men are worse than women)
It is the exact, same thing, we just have a different word for it. For women it's gossiping, for guys it's BS-ing with your brohood(The highest level group of friendship between men, without it becoming gay)?" And what that entails5 is the exact same thing.(yeah, yes)
Now the question is why do women do it? Now does it make them feel better?(yes)(It's crazy)
Do they feel like they are getting something out of their chests, or do they feel like I got something inside me I just, I need to share?
It's almost like a bonding ritual, like shoe shopping, or getting manicures, they feel like they are bonding with another woman if they say something about another woman.
It's ok for men to do that too, all right? It is just...
For, I tell you, if for women it is gossiping, for guys it is BS-ing, for journalists it is scoops6. That's all it is.
Have you ever told Megan a secret?
Oh, yeah, you betcha, and I ain't share it here.Nice try.
Woo, I can't wait to find out what that is.(Let's quickly go to commercial and find out)
Alright, coming up...
