goddamnit

Angry profane exclamation

Goddamnit is a profane exclamation expressing frustration, anger, or exasperation.

It combines "God" and "damn it" into a single emphatic outburst, making it more offensive than milder alternatives like "dammit" or "darn it." The word appears in various spellings—goddammit, god damn it, goddamn it—all representing the same exclamation.

Goddamnit, I just missed the train.

It is considered vulgar and offensive to many, particularly those with religious sensibilities.
