tuts
Sounds of reproof
Tuts is an exclamation of mild disapproval, impatience, or annoyance—the sound of clicking the tongue against the teeth, written out.
Someone tuts when they find something mildly improper or inconvenient: She tutted at the mess in the kitchen.
The singular tut and the phrase tut-tut carry the same meaning, with tut-tut sounding more emphatic or old-fashioned.
