It runs in their blood

[Dready]

Hello,

I'm not sure if I use this phrase corretly. Can I say, 'It runs in girls' blood to gossip'?

Thank you.

I wouldn't.

I wouldn't.

Can you please suggest a better variant? Please, don't be put off by the meaning of the sentence. I'm trying to think of some idiomatic expression. Of course, I can say, 'Girls tend to gossip' or 'Girls like gossiping'. But that's too simple.

Girls gossip; it runs in their blood.

 

[Dready]

I was afraid some women might find it offensive.

Right (it is offensive)

You might be able to say:

Some girls like to gossip. It's in their nature.

I was afraid some women might find it offensive.

Stated as I did, it most likely will be perceived as offensive.

OK, then I will most likely use your variant. I'm just kidding.

Thanks all for your replies.
