Azizi, the phrase "No Guts - No Glory" definitely predates 1968, because it appears on the side of a well known P-47 Thunderbolt aircraft that was flown by some American fighter pilot in WWII. It was his chosen slogan. That would have been somewhere around 1943-45. And he probably got it from someone else.

There's the common term "son of a bitch!", useful in times of stress. I often mutter "son of a bastard!" to myself instead for some reason, because I like the sound of it better.

Then there are the various "Shane-isms" which I have become so accustomed to that they are becoming second nature, such as...

You BOLThole!
You Flippin' Retread!
Hey, Flipface!
Hey, Dipwad!
Flip ME!!! (an expression denoting surprise, usually an unpleasant one)
Flipped if I know!
Flip OFF, eh!
DEE-cent!
Go flip yerself sideways from Sunday!
You can take that to the flippin' bank and cash it!

Then there are the various familiar expressions I have used for the dachshunds over the years...

El Puerco Real ("the royal pig")
Fifenose
Mister Diddlemaas
Fat Boy
Filch
Fuzzhead
