- The departure was not unduly prolonged. […] Within the door Mrs. Spoker hastily imparted to Mrs. Love a few final sentiments on the subject of Divine Intention in the disposition of buckets; farewells and last commiserations; a deep, guttural instigation to the horse; and the wheels of the waggonette crunched heavily away into obscurity.

- 2022 October, Anand Giridharadas, "The Uncomfortable Truths That Could Yet Defeat Fascism" The New York Times:
- In their own circles and sometimes in public, these organizers warn that the right is outcompeting small-d democrats in its psychological insight into voters and their anxieties, its messaging, its knack for narrative, its instinct to make its cause not just a policy program but also a home offering meaning, comfort and belonging. They worry, meanwhile, that their own allies can be hamstrung by a naïve and high-minded view of human nature, a bias for the wonky over the guttural, a self-sabotaging coolness toward those who don’t perfectly understand, a quaint belief in going high against opponents who keep stooping to new lows and a lack of fight and a lack of talent at seizing the mic and telling the kinds of galvanizing stories that bend nations’ arcs.
- 2019 March 10, Beandrea July, "'Darlin'': Film Review | SXSW 2019" Hollywood Reporter
- (proscribed)[1] crass, vulgar, low, base

- It’s not hard to put flesh on the bones of these poll statistics in the streets of Portsmouth, a pretty little New England town which seems almost too quaint to accommodate the guttural politics of Donald Trump.
- 2005 April 12, Rush Limbaugh, quoted by Tony Sanders "Limbaugh's Loose Lips Lead To On-Air Apology" Billboard Radio Monitor
