Decently written but slightly overrated book series by Cecily Von Ziegesar. These were perhaps the first books to describe the lives of wealthy, slightly screwed-up young adults, but they were certainly not the last. Many similar series have followed, including The Clique, The A-list, and Private.
They are very popular among girls who dislike reading, because they describe a glamorous world and reading them is very wish-fulfilling. However, they've got plenty of literary references in them that sail over the heads of most teenage readers.
They're more or less well-written, give credit where credit is due, but let's get one thing straight: they are not great American literature or anything.
Obsessed and slightly dippy fangirl: I looooove the gossip girl books, they're soooo high lit.
Nice, normal person: they're all right, but perhaps you just wish you were Serena?
Obsessed and slightly dippy fangirl: nooooo! they're deep! they're high literature!
Nice, normal person: yeah... keep telling yourself that.

Other Girl: My favorite part is when Serena kills the guy that didn't wanna pour her a Martini for being underage!
Girl: Too bad her Gucci got dirty!
Other Girl: Tots.

Toxic Gossip Train is an expression utilized by people to construct a narrative of animosity and hostility. It presents people's presumptions as well as evidence that is both credible and misleading. The individual responds to the criticisms by singing or speaking in front of a camera or directly.
Person A: Someone made an apology video by singing and they summarized the criticisms as a "Toxic Gossip Train".
Person B: That's a first for everything I guess. Anyway always be rational.
A song released by Colleen Ballinger (A.K.A, Miranda Sings) after she was called out for being a groomer. The toxic gossip train chugs down the tracks of misinformation, all the way to manipulation station. It is truly the video of all time. It's even more popular than her pregnancy announcement.
