yenta
noun
- a nosy person; "busybody". A Yiddish term.
With a yenta for a neighbor, you can't keep anything a secret.
We have a certain kind of treat we give our dogs that we call "yentas" because they can sit in the yard, chew on their yentas, check out what everyone in the hood is doing and gossip about them.
