damnations
Curses to hell
Damnations is the plural of damnation, referring to multiple instances of being condemned to eternal punishment or ruin.
More often it serves as an exclamation of anger or frustration, a stronger form of "damn": Damnations! The whole system crashed.
The plural intensifies the oath, though it sounds somewhat theatrical or archaic.
