A couple of canned messages for NPC's with no matches would be
helpful.  If he says "Buzz off" or "Go away, you", the player knows
that no interesting conversation can be had.

More versatile magic mouths (ie. with the timeout facility recently
suggested to avoid being spammed by its messages, and perhaps a
possibility to cycle through messages) could help the player home in
on the interesting NPC's.  Ie.  "The men in the corner are having a
heated discussion about a treasure."
