I've never been able to tell any real difference between ~one and ~body. I suppose ~one is slightly more polite or formal, but in everyday use, it's up to the speaker/writer.

If you narrow your eyes and say the word sneer, you're sneering. A good sneer needs a little contemptuous curl of the lip.

A chuckle is a quiet laugh in the back of your throat. You don't even need to open your mouth to chuckle.
