goddam

Frustrated curse word

Goddam is a vulgar exclamation and intensifier expressing anger, frustration, or emphasis.

It derives from the oath "God damn," invoking divine condemnation, though in modern use it functions mainly as an emphatic modifier with little religious weight: I can't find my goddam keys.

The word can modify nouns as an adjective or stand alone as an exclamation.

Also spelled goddamn.
