The grapevine report refers to unverified information that spreads through informal channels. This type of communication can also be described as rumors, hearsay, gossip, and scuttlebutt. Other synonyms include speculation, whisperings, and tattle. Grapevine reports are often spread among colleagues, friends, and acquaintances, and can spread quickly through social media and other communication platforms. Although grapevine reports can contain elements of truth, they are often inaccurate and unreliable. In situations where accurate information is critical, it is important to verify facts before spreading the grapevine report further.
