Defamation occurs when a person's reputation has been injured, when the person is held up to ridicule, scorn, or contempt.

To avoid confusion, do keep in mind that defamation is not the same as defecation. Defecation is the removal of bodily waste from the colon while defamation is an attack on someone's reputation or character. Defecation takes place in a restroom or bathroom, while defending oneself from defamation takes place in a courtroom.
