Slander is an oral communication to a third party which is untrue, holds you up to disrepute and is likely to be believed by others.   It's been a few years since law school, but I think the definition is close.  You should demand a retraction from the offender.  You should demand the retraction in writing by certified mail return receipt requested to prove he or she received your demand.  If a retraction is not delivered, you have reasons to sue for slander.  You also have to prove damages, e.g. your business or earning capacity suffered, you became sick or your morals were corrupt (this used to only apply to women-I don't know the law now).  Good luck.
