How often have we used this little quote to pass along a little tidbit of information or use it as an excuse to tell someone something about their character that perhaps is a little awkward otherwise?
It sound a little gossipy sometimes, but if you look at its origin in Ecclesiastes 10:20, the King's English makes it sound so proper, "For a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter." Try that line next time you want to pass along some information, or just plain tattle.
