Definition
A mild curse word or exclamation used to express frustration, anger, or emphasis; variant spelling of 'goddamn.'
Etymology
A combination of 'God' and 'damn,' using 'dam' as a shortened form. This compound curse word has been used in English since at least the 1600s.
Kelly Says
What counts as a curse word is completely cultural—'goddam' was considered shockingly profane in the 1950s but is now relatively mild, while other cultures have different words that carry similar taboo weight.
