Probably venial. But a good excuse for going to confession!

Well, it was detraction, and now it appears it was slander!

And I do need to get to confession more often . . . but usually there's sort of a boring sameness about it. Rather dull, unexciting sins, repeated despite firm purpose of amendment . . . .

I think it was Archbishop Sheen who said that hearing a nun's confession was like being stoned to death with popcorn . . . . a suburban matron's confession is equally dull.
