“I dunno nuh!” – I really have no idea, ask someone else

Now add a “hmmm” before while propping your head on your left fist and glancing up to the right. You are now saying “I really wish I had the answer for that, give me a few minutes to think about it.”

Now take the “hmmm” and turn it into a “hmp” as in “hmp, I dunno nuh” and shake your head while making a face of utter disbelief. New meaning – “This is absolutely unbelievable (a.k.a. someting else) and I have no words for it!”
