Likely better if he had revived the old thread rather than starting a new one.

Dear Grendel,
If it's "dish" that is causing your puzzlement:
"gossip, when speaking about a person or persons not present. "Gossip" (and "dish" in this sense) implies that the subject of the information isn't present.
Give me all the dish on him!"
Regards,
John |

Dear lck,
True - since it's often "the dirt" that's being dished. I could be wrong, but I think that it's used more often among the gay community than by others.
I wonder if it came from/is at all related to the expression, "He can dish it out but he can't take it."
Regards,
John |
