Small talk? (6-6)
I believe the answer is:
tittle-tattle
'small talk?' is the definition.
(I know that small talk can be written as tittle-tattle)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for tittle-tattle that I've seen before include "Trivial gossip" , "Small talk" , "Idle chat - gossip" , "Idle chatter" .)
