you can call it that but the only difference is we dont talk shiet about EVERYBODY we just comment about the people we know are talking shit.

a good example:

we drilled some holes where we weren't supposed to and it was for the benefit of our project, one of our supervisors comes up to us and starts telling us how it was a bad idea and how our boss was gonnna eat us up when he got back from lunch, so boss comes back checks out what we did and praises us for the idea (my coworkers idea h: ) and in comes the previous mentioned supervisor and starts yapping about how he was thinking of suggesting the same idea way before. RIGHT IN FRONT OF US we couldn't beleive what we were hearing I felt like punching the dude.
