From the Irish "Murphy" (to drink so profusely as to affect all aspects of one's character) and the Greek "
Hermaphrodite," the word "Hrmph" has come about in both noun and verb forms:
Noun: A rather round faced object, capable of odd squeamish noises, often placed in trunks.
Verb: To overcome such an
illogical and hysterical change, that society overlooks the absurdity of
the change, and accepts it.
