In a world dominated by social media and social expectations, it is interesting to realize that reputations have been made and ruined by gossip since centuries before technology came into being. Indeed, in some eras, gossip and wit were almost considered national sports, and verbal sparring could be almost as brutal as today's MMA cage fighting!
