Scuttlebutt
Scuttlebutt was, in the days of tall ships, the barrel on deck that held fresh drinking water for the crew, and consequently where they gathered to talk and share information. In today's Navy, the scuttlebutt is the trust bubbler, where one gets a drink of water. It has come to mean gossip, or news in today's jargon.
