I used to work for a political organization. We would organize volunteer phonebanks sometimes. The volunteer training for these events always included the "dammit rule." **IN YOUR HEAD** (and only there), say "dammit" after every sentence.
Hi John, my name is Liza, dammit, and I'm calling with the xyz party, dammit. I wanted to let you know about an event we'll be holding next monday, dammit.
It's pretty hard to do "upspeak" this way.
