curse it
Mild oath uttered
Curse it is a mild oath expressing frustration or annoyance, less forceful than its profane counterpart damn it: Curse it, I left my wallet at home.
The phrase sounds old-fashioned or deliberately restrained, often used for comic effect or in settings where stronger language would be inappropriate.
