One word is enough, if you use it right

"Ho!" said Constable Dobbs, not, probably, with an idea of contributing anything vital to the debate, but just because policemen never lose a chance of saying, "Ho!" Then suddenly, a strange light came into his face and he said, "Ho!" again, this time packing a lot of meaning into the word.

(from The Mating Season, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
