say, "tisk, tisk" on several occasions when feigning sympathy
I think that Geoff has hit upon something here. If said with an attempt at pronouncing it as written there is an element of sarcasm involved. The description of it as an unvoiced labio-dental implosive would be more indicative of the normal use pronunciation. It could probably also be described as a click by someone familiar with the languages that use such things.
