dadgummit
Polite Southern oath
Dadgummit is a mild oath expressing frustration or annoyance, a euphemistic substitution for "goddammit." It has a folksy, rural flavor—the kind of thing a grandfather might say when he drops his wrench: Dadgummit, I can't find my glasses anywhere.
Also spelled dad-gummit or daggummit.
