  • “I think I chose well when one of my standards for coming back here was that I wouldn’t follow any newsy or discourse-addicted accounts. Makes it kinda quiet sometimes, but worth my peace.”

  • “100%. My favorite is when they try to be newsy, then reference the response of an elected official in the present tense who left office years ago.”

Chatty, gossipy.

For parents

"newsy" means: Chatty, gossipy.. This is a fairly neutral word with no inherent risk attached. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than something dangerous. If your child uses it, context will usually make the meaning clear. A brief, curious question about where they heard it is generally enough to know whether to follow up.

For ESL learners

"newsy" means: Chatty, gossipy.. Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.

  • “Bardzo odwróćmy sytuację: mamy klasyczne granie rodziny i przyjaciół Trumpa. Czyli fake newsy i zarabianie na giełdzie i chyba właśnie to widzimy. Axios wypuścił "anonimowe źródła informacji", które są nieweryfikowalne. Taki to piękny okres PSYOBS i grania na giełdzie. 3/3”
