That is passing a forged document, most commonly a personal check.
It is a bit different from forgery.
Forgery just covers the actual illegal signing of a document, uttering is the presentation of that document. This makes the person forging the check, and the person trying to cash the check both responsible.
Here is the dictionary.com definition:
Uttering: the crime of knowingly tendering or showing a forged instrument or counterfeit coin to another with intent to defraud.

Speaking. If you're charged with "uttering obscenities" it just means you were cussing.

Actually, trooper3316 is correct -- I googled it and came up with this:
