Ambasing

Ambasing is a slang term that refers to the act of eavesdropping or listening in on someone’s conversation without their knowledge.

In more detail, ambasing is when someone discreetly listens to or overhears a conversation without being noticed. It is often done intentionally to gather information or out of curiosity. This term is commonly used to describe the actions of a nosy person who wants to find out what others are talking about without being caught.

Example 1: “I saw Sarah ambasing on our conversation when we were discussing our surprise party plans. She always likes to know everything before it happens.”

Example 2: “Don’t ambas in on that group talking over there, it’s rude and invading their privacy.”
