Verb. To distort the meaning or sound of.
Grandfather Pembroke called the other night, from Tuscaloosa. Mom spoke to him but she said his call kept breaking up. “Jack, call me from your land line later,” she said in frustration. “Ugh, cell phones!”
“What did he want?” I asked.
“I don’t know. His voice was garbled. I could barely understand a word he said,” Mom replied.
