When something is uttered, it is expressed, although it doesn't necessarily have to spoken. A grunt, for instance, can be uttered. Utter may almost seem like a slang word, but it's actually somewhat formal. Saying, "He uttered a complaint," for instance, is actually more sophisticated than just saying, "He complained." The word utter also has a second meaning, as an adjective. In this usage, it means "complete and total."<p><strong> Usage Examples: </strong><p>She uttered a statement of surprise when she heard the news. (said, expressed) <em> verb </em><p>I was utterly embarrassed at what had happened. (completely, totally) <em> adverb </em><p>He didn't utter a word in his own defense. (say, exclaim) <em> verb </em><p>The meeting was an utter waste of my time.
