==Explanation==
I have nothing to offer but {{w|blood, toil, tears, and sweat}} is a famous phrase in a speech given by {{w|Winston Churchill}}, which would be heard on the radio in the 1940s. The comic then goes on to list numerous other increasingly obscure {{w|body fluid|bodily fluids}}, including through the title text, ending humorously with {{w|gin}} (which Churchill was partial to).

The fluids in order: {{w|blood}}, {{w|tears}}, {{w|sweat}}, {{w|saliva|spit}}, {{w|bile}}, {{w|vomit}}, {{w|urine}}, {{w|mucus}}, {{w|semen}}, {{w|earwax}}, {{w|lymph}}, {{w|gastric acid}}, {{w|sebum}}, {{w|pus}}, {{w|endolymph}}, {{w|intracellular fluid}}, {{w|blood plasma}}, {{w|vitreous humor}}, {{w|feces}}, {{w|pleural cavity fluid}}, {{w|chyle}}, {{w|synovial fluid}}, {{w|peritoneal fluid}}, {{w|cerebrospinal fluid}}, {{w|pericardial fluid}}, {{w|sputum}}, {{w|aqueous humor}}, {{w|perilymph}}, {{w|chyme}}, {{w|hydatid fluid}}, {{w|interstitial fluid}}, {{w|rheum}}, and {{w|gin}}. The partially obscured ones near the end are taken by process of elimination. CHLY- seems to be a typo for CHYL(E).

[Replace 'gin' with 'tea' for all other Bri'ish people]
