Actually to be more generic these days, it is just usually just referred to as defamation without regard to whether it is written or spoken.

As to the real question, let me just put it this way. I doubt anyone would take that "case" on contingency. But, bring in a large wheelbarrow full of dead presidents and you can (unfortunately) find someone to do almost anything -- including paying sanctions.

It may be defamation to call someone a name (depending on what it is and unless, of course, it is true), but it is not defamation (or at least very seldom so), IMO, to say, even falsely, that someone called you a name.
