The term lip service refers to the act of gossiping.

The older meaning of "lip service" or to "pay lip service" means to say or pretend to follow actions that a person or persons wishes, but the speaker does not mean.

For example a person may pay lip service to an organization (government/church/book club/etc) but not actually follow what that organization stands for or requires of people as part of that organization.
