Expressions of bemusement, skepticism, and disbelief:
- Hmm — interesting, worth considering, plausible
- Hmmm — puzzling, intriguing, promising
- Hmmmm — doesn't sound right, long shot, maybe important
- Hmmmmm — unlikely, probably wrong, slim chance
- Hmmmmmm — highly suspicious, major odds against
- Hmmmmmmm — extremely silly, whoa, bogosity-meter-pegging
... worth quantifying? — perhaps begin ~1:1 for "Hmm", falling by a factor of 2 or 4 for each additional "m"?
