god damn it

Angry profane outburst

God damn it is an oath expressing anger, frustration, or exasperation.

The phrase invokes divine condemnation for emphasis, though it functions as a general-purpose expletive rather than a literal curse: God damn it, I left my wallet at home.

Often spelled as one word (goddammit) or softened to gosh darn it.

The intensity ranges from genuine fury to mild annoyance depending on delivery.
