Or am I having false memories, phrase is “bad gas travels fast in a small town”. I know it’s used in Letter Kenny but I thought I’d heard it before and it predated that show in USA (Iowa).

  1. I’ve always just heard news travels fast in a small town. Can confirm it does

  2. Yes. It’s a thing. Not something you imagined.

    It brings to mind the medieval concept of miasma.

  3. I’ve heard “Rumor travels faster than truth” (Sometimes “Nothing travels faster that rumor”). But not your phrase.

  4. Haven’t heard it outside the show.

    Similar phrases I have heard like “nothing travels faster than rumor.”
