god forsaken

Bleak and hopeless

Godforsaken describes a place or situation so desolate, remote, or miserable that it seems abandoned even by God.

A godforsaken town has nothing going for it—no opportunities, no appeal, no hope: What are you doing in this godforsaken place?

The term is hyperbolic and mildly profane, expressing frustration or dismay rather than literal theology.
