Use Of Being In Sentences

Can YOU use this word in a sentence?

I've never heard this one before! According to Merriam Webster online, the word of the day is "quidnunc" (noun) - pronounced (KWID-nunk).

Definition: a person who seeks to know all the latest news or gossip : busybody

Example Sentence: "Those who criticize Joanne for being a quidnunc are usually the first to go to her when they want to know the latest gossip."

This one's kind of simple, so I'm hoping I don't see sentences like "my sister is such a quidnunc", "people call me a quidnunc", etc. etc. etc.
Try to make it creative and interesting to read! Draw on personal experience! Write me a short blurb!

Have fun; thanks for playing! ♥

Other sentences may work better simply with “will be”.“The books will be being returned next week”This would be better as“The books will be returned next week���The only way to use it in that context would be if there is specific importance to the fact that the books are going to be *in the process* of being returned.“The books will be being returned next week, and it won’t be possible to locate them while they are in transit”Here, the focus is on the transport of the books.“Will be being” could also be used as an active construction, but not very commonly.“I’m glad I’m not at the meeting – I’m sure Graham will be being his usual, tedious self”This is an instance of the future tense being used to describe an event happening now that the speaker considers to be likely or inevitable.Apologies to anyone called Graham who is not tedious!
