What does MMM mean in Scrabble?
interjection
informal
A drawn-out version of mm, savoured over enjoyment of food, a compliment, or a thought worth lingering on.
Mmm does the opposite of most written noises: it fills a gap rather than ending one, and how long it runs decides what it means. Two letters signal hesitation and four signal enjoyment, which is a great deal of work for one closed mouth.
