Those who don’t get the imitative nature of hemming and hawing will understandably cast about for similar sounding words to anchor to. Instead of dithering, you might be wavering between needlework and bodice-ripping.
I pretend to fumble for change when you want stop hemming and whoring behind me so you can order another hamburger….you already ate three wasn’t that enough?

Surprisingly, no credible humming and whoring. Nor hymning and whoring, more is the pity. The angelic end of the spectrum of respectability can be reached, however, while hymning and hawing.

And what a pity it is. Here’s a poor simbling to stretch the set a little more.
I don’t see men the way I used too, I like them as friends but that’s all, I’ve been humming and horning with myself for a while just to admit how I really feel.
The doctors at the meeting kept hemming and horning that they weren’t going to do it, but instead of just saying it directly and letting me go…

The hummers and horners must make an interesting symphony. Another musical family member provides spiritual background music to support the effort of mental negociation.
OP: I have been reading on my town’s local, unofficial website, and oh my. At one point someone was hymning and hauling.
R: Hmmm, perhaps it’s an alternate title for “Bringing in the Sheaves”?

Thats funny. Do you actually think there was negotiating going on ? I’d call it hymning and hauling. (sp)
