Slander is a spoken false statement that damages someone's reputation - saying something about someone out loud that hurts their good name. It's the spoken twin of libel, which is the same idea but in writing or print. Both are serious enough that people can be sued in court over them.
（口頭）誹謗
組成From Old French esclandre, ultimately from Latin scandalum, 'a cause of stumbling, a scandal'.
