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.
