"This was not the first, nor was it to be the last, time that I had taken over a situation that was not going too well. I knew the feeling of unease that comes at first at such times, a sinking of the heart as the gloomy facts crowd in; then the glow of exhilaration as the brain grapples with problem after problem; lastly the tingling of the nerves and the lightening of the spirit, as the urge to get out and tackle the job gets hold."
- Field Marshal Viscount Slim, "Defeat Into Victory"

I'll have to remember that as the washing machine broke down and flooded the kichen. All we need is to get a grip, eh?
Both Montgomery and Slim employed the word "grip".
