Corrigenda:
--"Don't have a cow" goes back at least to the early '60s (my junior high
school days)
--"Ay Caramba" has been a staple of comic Latin characters since (at least)
The Cisco Kid (Poncho) and I Love Lucy (Ricky Ricardo)
--"Cowabunga!" was used frequently by Chief Thunderthud on the Howdy Doody
Show

Addenda:
Get Smart contributed "Sorry about that, chief", "Would you believe...?",
and  "Missed it by THAT much".
