Just as there are bad witches and good witches, so there are good yentas and bad yentas. A good yenta provides you knowledge and wisdom about everything and a bad yenta is just an annoyance and gossip.
Good yenta - My aunt is such a yenta, I called her about where to find a classy new outfit but at a cheap price and she knew just where to go.
Bad yenta - Don't tell my mother-in-law anything confidential, she'll just spread it around.
