If we reach back beyond the currency of semi (say 3 or more decades);
then I would have offered Art:
"Keep a tight ass hole."
and it would have still come from the same culture.

Now, at the risk of having to "explain" to a generation that demands
facts and references, and then shows so little inclination to actually
apply them (this does not mean you by the way as you have been
adventurous enough to probably have made connections anyway); then my
short answer would be:
"You've guessed wrong." (which is a far more commonplace outcome
by virtue of this preponderance of guessing, presuming, and supposing
instead of testing, analyzing, and examining).

5 points to the one who can name the source to the ancient (nearly 40
year old) quote offered. 5 extra points if you can provide the
context (fictional character) who employs it. And 10 points bonus if
you can name (fictional character) who it is applied to.

Hmm, I'd say about 61 years +-1 on the quote, and I couldn't guess who
used it 40 years ago.

And blunt is now a drug reference if you haven't kept up.

So who was it that recycled the combat advice?
