god damn
Angry verbal outburst
God damn is a profane oath invoking divine condemnation, used to express anger, frustration, or emphasis: God damn it, I told you not to touch that.
Often compressed to goddamn as an intensifying adjective or adverb: That goddamn car won't start, He's goddamn lucky to be alive.
The phrase retains genuine blasphemous force for religious speakers while functioning as mere emphasis for secular ones.
