Whispering load enough in public for people to hear you while still pretending the converstaion is private. (Usually used when you are afraid the stranger you are talking about thinks what you are saying is mean when, in fact, it's not.)
John: *Whispering* "Steve, do you see that guy over there?"
(Then John sees the "Hat Guy" notice that John is whispering about him.)
John: *Public Whispering* "I love his hat."
{Note- When public whispering, the whisperer is only making sure that the subject of talk knows the conversation isn't gossip.}

Get the Whisper biscuitmug. A project management term that pushes for a goal or milestone to be completed on a certain date but key stakeholders are not made aware of this date, the deliverables, or any logical reason why this date was chosen. A Whisper Date usually sets unrealistic expectations that results in people pulling off miracle work to save the ass of the "Whisper Dater".
"Ann are you okay?"
"Chuck presented to the management team this morning and set a 'Whisper Date' of completion for THIS Tuesday without informing the Engineering Team..."
"You know what they say, 'Let it be written... let it be done..'"
"Time to pull off some miracles!"

Get the Whisper Datemug. A politically correct alternative to Chinese whispers, particularly suitable for the modern workplace where miscommunication is caused by middle management idiots not understanding anything but still desperate to impress, rather than by language difficulties.
Programmer to middle manager: We need to deploy X because A happened. Please ask the client before we proceed.
Middle manager to client: we deployed X so now B is supported
Programmer (on reading the minutes): ugh, Wally's whispers strikes again
