rummissioner

The term "rummissioner" is an informal and humorous portmanteau, a blend of the words "rumor" and "commissioner." It typically refers to an individual who is perceived as being overly eager to investigate or disseminate rumors, often without sufficient evidence or a formal mandate. Such a person might be seen as a self-appointed fact-finder or a busybody who takes an excessive interest in gossip and speculative information.

The "rummissioner" is often characterized by their enthusiastic pursuit of unverified information, sometimes acting as if they hold an official position of authority in uncovering the truth behind whispers and hearsay. They might be found actively questioning people, piecing together fragments of information, and drawing conclusions that are not necessarily grounded in established facts. The term is generally used lightheartedly to describe someone's behavior rather than to denote any actual official role. It highlights a playful exaggeration of someone's tendency to delve into rumors.
