Spoken defamation (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slander

'spoken defamation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for slander that I've seen before include "Sling mud at" , "False malicious spoken statement" , "muckraking!" , "False or malicious report" , "Malicious speech" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com and The Times.
