Can the translation for "you're welcome" be "mū"?


A Japanese-addict friend of mine recently told me that a possible translation
for "you're welcome" in Japanese was "mū", but I must admit I was a bit
dubious about that since I had never seen it nor heard it. I looked it up and
found no entries about it anywhere.

Is it a mistake?




Definitely a mistake. The only time I hear of むー is in comics where it's the
sound effect for thinking (I think you use hmmm in English). So, my theory is
this person heard a conversation like...

Akimori: I did your laundry for you.

Yamada: Hmmm...but I thought I asked Ken to do it.

And might have thought むー was "you're welcome" when it was just the person
thinking about something, haha.
