Have you ever, in your life, heard anyone who was disgruntled say "Harumph"?
Didn't think so.
By the way, do not misconstrue this post to mean I am in any way disgruntled. I've been having a great time in Virginia. It was just one of those things that popped into my head.

I have heard the shortened "humph" though...
Me too, bubs, but I've been dealing with government employees lately. I think they go to special training classes to learn to say it with that special "and I suck and I want to punish you for it" tone.
Is harumph really a word?
Only on British TV...
"Have you ever, in your life, heard anyone who was disgruntled say "Harumph"?"
Go over to Lynchberg, Vir-ginny and see if they don't...
I used to just say "Hmmff" when I'm disgruntled. But lately I have been trying to say it the correct way. So yes, I do say "harumph" now.
what? I harumph all the time, esp. in print!! HAVEN'T YEW BEAN PAYING ATTENTION TO ANYTHING I'VE BEEN SAYING?!
::harumph::
Just for that, you'll have to help me throw Mt. Hood into the ocean!!
I harrumph sometimes, but it is probably Big Orange's influence on me.
Oh and by the way, one of my most favorite t-shirts was:
To call me disgruntled implys I was ever gruntled to begin with.
I think I've said "harumph" in an ironic manner. Sadly it was not in a disgruntled manner.

Hey Chris, any updates on the hooch n smooch at Club Lago?
Isn't it like one of those onamonapia(sp) terms?
Bubs- At least that sounds a little more like the sound a disgruntled person makes. By the way, no changes to the original meet & greet. After 6PM this Saturday at Club Lago. I hope you can make it!
Bubbles- I think it's a college course.
Cheer- Not in my book.
S.D.- Crazy British...
WP- I avoid Lynchburglke the plague.
Cherry- You crazy!
B.O.- Somehow this doesn't surprise me.
Flann- He's contagious, isn't he.
K.I.D.- I think that's permissible.
Dave- Is he any relation to Snuffleupagus
Grant- I suppose, it just doesn't sound anything like the sound that's made.
Harumphh is a word that my family uses all the time. It's kind of a joke.
I say harumph (also spelled hrumph, hrrumph) all the time, but especially when I'm cranky. In fact, I'm feeling rather cranky right now, so let me just say this: hrrumph. And many more.
Is pfffft the same thing?
"WP- I avoid Lynchburg like the plague."
I was wondering if it has changed at all since I was there way back in '80. Of course back then, the theme from "Deliverance" wasn't played with banjos, but with an "elevator music" orchestra.
