In its archaic US sense, to give someone goss meant to beat or thrash them. However, the phrase has a far more widely understood modern counterpart in Australian slang where "give someone the goss" means to share gossip or the latest news with someone. The Aussie usage is lively, social, and entirely non-violent — you give your mates the goss about what happened at the weekend.
Text me when you get home and give me the goss about what actually went down at that party.
