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.
Noun: Whatcha gonna do with all those Hrmphs? All those Hrmphs up in your
trunk?
Verb: Sean used to be a Yankee
fan, but has sinced Hrmphed into a Met
fan.
