goldarnit
Folksy frustrated exclamation
Goldarnit is a mild oath expressing frustration or annoyance, a euphemistic reshaping of "goddamn it" that avoids taking the Lord's name in vain: Goldarnit, I left my wallet at home.
The word sounds folksy and old-fashioned, associated with rural American speech.
Also spelled goldarn it, gol darn it, or galdarnit.
