Teenager Louis-Vincent in the TV series 30 vies is sick of how his parents nag him all the time.
He tells a friend that his parents say that he’s not good enough, that he doesn’t work hard enough at school, that he never does anything right…
Then he tells his friend that the nagging is annoying:
C’est gossant.
It’s so annoying. It drives me crazy.

In another scene of 30 vies, Ariane tells her coworker Karine that she caught her flirting with Vincent, and that everyone’s starting to talk about it (i.e., the word is spreading about how Karine flirted):
Le monde commence à jaser.
Everyone’s starting to talk.
Le monde here just means “everybody,” or “people.” The letter a in jaser is pronounced â (aww).
[Both quotes from 30 vies, season 2, episode 85, Radio-Canada, Montreal, 20 February 2012.]
