At FORE systems we had a phone support person who would shout those
things, so loud that everybody in building one could hear it. He was
astoundingly imaginative and colorful, and many of his remarks are not
printable.
Eventually, somebody spied on his work, and noticed that he was deftly
using the mute button on his phone. He could interject these
incredible outbursts, while speaking levelly and courteously at all
times to the customer. Amazing.

Get yourself a realistic-looking mongoose costume. Then, rent yourself
