goddamnedest
Utterly beyond belief
Goddamnedest is the superlative form of goddamned, used for emphasis when describing something extreme or extraordinary: That's the goddamnedest thing I've ever heard.
It often expresses bewildered amazement rather than literal cursing.
The phrase try your goddamnedest means to make your absolute best effort, treating the profane intensifier as if it were a measurable degree.
