Here's a breakdown of what it means:
* Excessively curious: Someone who is nosy wants to know things that don't concern them. They go beyond a casual interest and delve into personal details.
* Inquisitive: They ask lots of questions, often probing and prying.
* Private affairs of others: Nosy people are interested in the personal lives of others, such as their relationships, finances, or secrets.
Examples:
* "My neighbor is so nosy, she's always peering into my windows."
* "I wish my co-worker wouldn't be so nosy about my personal life."
* "It's rude to be nosy about other people's business."
Being nosy can be considered rude and intrusive. It's important to respect people's privacy and boundaries.
