Give me the dirt! 친구의 연애사 같은 사적인 이야기를 들려달라고 할때

 

I'm really excited for my vacation next week.

> Yeah, you're gonna have the best time. Do you have any special plans?

Not really. I'm gonna kick back on the beach, relax, just take it easy.

I know it's kind of lame, but when I'm on vacation, I love to read all of the gossip rags.

> Oh yeah? Really? Well, you're gonna have to fill me in on all the latest dirt when you come back.

Oh, totally.

I just got back from a meeting with HR. You're never gonna believe what I heard.

> Ooh, dish it!

OK. Well, apparently, Dan, the VP of sales, he's gonna be fired.

> Oh my God! Really?

Yeah, big scandal, right? He got caught submitting false expense claims or something.

and I guess he tried to cheat the company out of thousands of dollars.

> Wow, I can't believe it. He always seemed like such a nice guy.
