Have you heard the gossip about...?
What's the goss (gossip)?
Oh my God! Did you hear what happened at the party on Friday?

Paula hasn't been in school since Monday. I reckon it's because she (her) and Miguel have split up.
No way! Are you kidding me?
(UK: Are you having a laugh?)
 Are you being serious?
  Shut up! I don't believe you.

Did you know that Sarah is pregnant and she doesn't know who the father is?

Like did you hear about Pablo getting arrested on Saturday night?

Is that actually true?
UK Only: Are you taking the Mick(ey)?
