Good One-Liners: I was trying to figure out how to say "Come and suck it" in Greek but gave up. But, I struck up this Wikipedia page of "Laconic phrases," short sardonic James Bond-like threats and the like.

In the Korean War, after U.N. forces under American command were attacked by Chinese forces in the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, U.S. commander Chesty Puller made the remark, "We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things."[34] He also reportedly said, "All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time".
