damn

Express frustrated disappointment

Damn means to condemn to eternal punishment in hell, or to condemn or curse generally: The priest warned that sinners would be damned.

The critics damned the play.

As an exclamation, damn expresses anger, frustration, or emphasis: Damn, I forgot my keys.

As an intensifier, it adds force: That's a damn good idea.

I'm damn tired of this.

Damn ranks among the milder profanities—offensive to some, especially in religious contexts, but common enough to appear in polite company.

Damn it or dammit is the exclamation; not worth a damn means worthless; damn with faint praise means to praise so weakly as to imply criticism.
