Sapa
A gossipy, nosy woman who listens in on conversations that are none of her business and then tells everyone what she heard. In Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador, "sapa" is the female version of "sapo": always eavesdropping, never keeping a secret. If someone calls you sapa, they're telling you to mind your own business.
