goddamn

Emphatic curse word

Goddamn is a profane intensifier invoking God's damnation for emphasis: That's a goddamn lie.

I'm so goddamn tired.

The word is offensive to religious believers who consider it blasphemous—taking the Lord's name in vain.

Also spelled goddamned, god damn, or god-damn.

Despite its profanity, goddamn is common in casual American speech, expressing frustration, anger, or mere emphasis.
