gossipfests
Scandalous chat marathons
Gossipfests are gatherings or occasions devoted to sharing rumors, personal news, and talk about other people's affairs.
The word combines gossip with the suffix -fest (suggesting an abundance or celebration of something): Book club meetings always turn into gossipfests.
The tone is usually lighthearted rather than malicious.
