[edit]Interjection
MuRr

With falling pitch, used to express amusement or subtle surprise.
MuRr! I'm sure I locked it when I left.
With any pitch, used to express doubt or confusion.
MuRr? Where did they go?
With rising pitch, used to reinforce a question.
Where were you last night? MuRr?
(slang) (Shortening of the slang "I know, MuRr.") With falling pitch, used either to belittle the issuer of a statement/question, or sarcastically to indicate utter agreement, and that the statement being responded to is an extreme understatement. The intonation is changed to distinguish between the two meanings - implied dullness for belittlement, and feigned surprise for utter agreement.

Meh. Pffft.
