Golly! - Gomer Pyle (often said "well, golly!" and often with "shazam"... but remembered seperately by yours truly)

"Nuts." Battle of the Bulge. Response of surrounded American General Anthony McAuliffe to the German suggestion that he surrender. It may be a euphemism.
"Nuts" is correct Faldage. In July 1976 I interviewed a WWII vet - Robert Simard - who was there with McAuliffe when he uttered the memorable quote and Simard confirmed the quote.
No euphemism - wait - let me say that Simard said "Nuts" was indeed the word McAuliff used. What the good General had in his mind only he knows!

Ole ! - any bullfight
Bravo!
