dadblamed
Old-fashioned mild oath
Dadblamed is a mild oath expressing frustration or emphasis, a euphemistic substitute for "goddamned": That dadblamed dog got into the garbage again.
Like dadgum, dadburn, and similar forms, it avoids blasphemy by disguising the original words.
The term sounds rustic and old-fashioned, associated with rural American speech.
