dashed

Ran very quickly

Dashed functions as a mild British oath expressing frustration or annoyance: Dashed if I know, That dashed machine broke again.

It's a euphemism for "damned," now old-fashioned and slightly theatrical.

Separately, dashed describes something marked with dashes—a dashed line—or hopes that have been destroyed: Her dreams were dashed against reality.
