I don't know how helpful this will be, but I am forever reminderreminded of Terry Pratchett's approach with the character of Mr. Tulip from The Truth, whose dialogue was heavily peppered with the exclamation '—ing'. As in, a glottal stop, followed by the word.

Mr. Tulip: It's not a ——ing harpsichord, it's a ——ing virginal! One ——ing string to a note instead of two! So called because it was an instrument for ——ing young ladies!

And also quite a few interesting -- and grim -- thoughts.

Mr. Tulip: An' then...then I'm gonna get medieval on his arse.

Mr. Pin: How, exactly?

Mr. Tulip: I thought maybe a maypole. An' then a display of country dancing, land tillage under the three-field system, several plagues, and, if my hand ain't too tired, the invention of the —ing horse collar.
