To give TW some credit I have heard it used in mildly derogatory ways to classify a group of “old biddies” who are a bit over inquisitive and have too much time. I wasn’t familiar with the phrase till I heard a horticulture lecturer mention offhand how when he gave public lectures, 90% of his questions were from said group, and he could never leave on time because he’d be accosted by them afterwards asking questions about their own back yards and insisting he listen to their own anecdotal experiences…
