doggonest
Most surprisingly extreme
Doggonest is the superlative form of doggone, a mild oath substituting for "goddamn." It intensifies already emphatic statements: That's the doggonest thing I ever heard.
The word carries a folksy, old-fashioned flavor, suggesting rural or Southern American speech.
Like doggone itself, it expresses exasperation or amazement without true profanity.
