Expressions to listen for

colloquial
A comedic speech tic specific to this character, used whenever he tries to express strong emotion (especially anger) but cannot bring himself to say it directly. It functions as a kind of verbal scramble that replaces a complete word or curse. Understanding it as a sign of emotional suppression rather than actual words is key to reading the character's arc.
