description The aim of this study is to identify different scripts of gossip among the inhabitants of the municipality of Bolon the island of Brač. The method of participant observation is used in combination with interviews, deep hanging out method and thick description. The results are introduced, embedded and reflected in the relevant social theory. Different gossip solidarity groups are distinguished and the reference to the truth of the gossip material is analysed to distinguish between modern and postmodern gossip, the latter being referred to as bullshitting.
