What does SLUR mean in Scrabble?
verb
To speak or pronounce words indistinctly, running the sounds together.
Someone who slurs their speech blurs the boundaries between words and sounds so that they run into one another and are hard to make out. By extension, a slur can also be an insulting remark made about a person, since it smears a reputation in much the same way that indistinct speech blurs a sentence.
