Yes, I suppose "Hmmph" is a close relative of "Hmm," both
of which are effective at keeping the other guy guessing.
Another tactic, which I learned from a former colleague, is
to wear reading glasses low on one's nose (people who
wear reading glasses must read a lot, right?) and then to
peer at people over one's reading glasses as one speaks.
For added effect, peer at them above your glasses with one
eyebrow slightly raised.
Depending on how well you pull it off, people will think you
are smart, or an ass, or possibly both. :-)
