god dammit

Exasperated profane exclamation

God dammit is an exclamation of frustration, anger, or exasperation: God dammit, I left my wallet at home.

The phrase invokes divine condemnation but functions as a mild oath rather than a literal curse.

It appears in many spellings—goddammit, goddamn it, god damn it—all pronounced roughly the same.

Some consider it blasphemous; others use it freely.
