Found out “busybody” means a gossip and not someone who’s busy doing things all the time. Literal thinking really got me this time

It’s not just gossip, it’s the meddling/interfering with other people’s lives in order to be a gossip and dramatize everything. They are busy doing things all the time. The things are just putting their nose in everyone’s business instead of being productive (if that makes sense)

I’m pretty sure I’ve only heard that said in scenarios where gossip doesn’t make sense maybe it has multiple meanings? if not, the people who said it don’t know the meaning either

Took me way longer than I’d like to admit to learn that it’s just a nicer way of saying someone’s being nosy 😔
