Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "RAH" (as in "rapper") + "dyoh" + "BEHM" (as in "bed") + "bah" (as in "bar")/

Meaning

Gossip that travels by word of mouth in Venezuela, the informal network where news spreads without anyone officially confirming it. The neighborhood grapevine.

Examples

I heard through the grapevine that they are moving.

Thanks to the rumor mill the whole neighborhood already knows what happened.

Regional synonyms

A casual and affectionate way to say goodbye to very close friends in Mexico. It sounds odd or even aggressive out of context, but among tight friends it signals pure warmth and trust. Definitely not something to say to someone you just met.
