What is SPUNK in Spanish?

Te"Careful. On my mark, ready...
SPUNK is defined as an informal way to say COURAGE or METTLE.
In standard Spanish SPUNK is then VALOR,or CORAJE. 
If we say something like someone has a lot of SPUNK  what we mean is that person is showing COURAGE.                 
The word SPUNK may have a connotation which explains why is not used as often as other words with a similar meaning. That secondary definition is used to refer to the liquid resulting after a male ejaculation and it is the British apparently who adopted this custom long ago.
