What is an absent minded murmur?

An absent-minded murmur refers to a soft, indistinct sound made when someone is speaking without fully concentrating, often due to distraction or preoccupation with other thoughts. This can occur in casual conversation when a person is not fully engaged, leading to a lack of clarity in their speech. The term highlights a state of mind where the speaker's focus is divided, resulting in a less coherent or attentive response.
