I said "O ****", as one does, and landed with no flaps, no big deal, but my passenger on hearing these words, was convinced it was his last moment!
Yes, that's part of my standard passenger briefing.

"I'm likely to talk to myself, many pilots do that, it's a hangover from flying lessons. If I swear at myself don't worry about it too much, we're probably OK, it probably just means that I didn't do something quite as neatly as I would have liked."
