Accepted Answer

[dæm] Damn is a common, somewhat naughty exclamation. In one sense it means to condemn or send someone to hell, as in "God damn it!" Other times it means "a little amount," as in "I don't give a damn about baseball." The reason, in fact, may be just the opposite: there is too much damn happiness in the world today. 1[EXCLAM 感叹语](表示愤怒或不耐烦)该死，可恶，他妈的 Damn ,damn it, and dammit are used by some people to express anger or impatience.   [feelings]  [INFORMAL 非正式]  [RUDE 无礼]Don't be flippant, damn it!
