I've listened to Opie and Anthony and Ron& Fez for years and they have Jim Norton on all the time and loads of other comedians and I've never heard them refer to it as murdered.

I listen to the Bob and Tom show on my hour-long commute to work, and have for ten years. I've listened to them interview scores of comedians. They say it both ways - the terms are synonymous.
