One would be surprised about just how many nuances a grunt can have. just a slight variation in tone, length, volume, composition, etc. will change the meaning completely...

Indeed! However, the grunts I'm talking about are of the 'I can't be bothered listening' or 'I'm not interested' variety. They tend to be short and to the point and very annoying when a simple 'yes', 'no' or 'don't know' would suffice. I can't quite believe we're having a conversation about 'grunts' in a thread about bookmarks.
