Rosa was dismissed, and they had their chat; but it was nearly all on one side. Fanny had plenty to say, but did not say it. She had not the heart to cloud that beaming face again so soon; she temporized: Zoe pressed her with questions too; but she slurred things, Zoe asked her why Miss Maitland was so bitter against Mr. Severne. Fanny said, in an off-hand way, "Oh, it is only on your account she objects to him."英文原著 · 《A Woman-Hater》
And the Klosking had cured him of the fatal whine which stains the amateur, male or female, and had taught him climax, so that he articulated and sung with perfect purity, and rang out his final notes instead of slurring them.

The lines shall be quoted verbatim, though not literatim; and perhaps no better example, and none more readily appreciable by a modern ear, could be given than the fourth of them of the harmonious effect of Chaucer's usage of SLURRING, referred to above:--英文原著 · 《Chaucer》
"I would have married a girl without a slur, if I must have married," aggravatingly returned Miss Corny.英文原著 · 《East Lynne》
"Slur, yes. Dear me, is it an honor--the possessing a brother such as Richard?"英文原著 · 《East Lynne》
Your board thrives in the dark, slurping up the fringe bennies-- the five star lunches, the golf junkets, the safaris under the guise of "Fact finding missions." My presence shines an unwanted light, 'cause I'm someone who actually works for a living.美剧 · 《Billions》
No, no, it wasn't kids, and they shouted something unpleasant about real estate developers, including an anti-australian slur.美剧 · 《Desperate Housewives》
