    I try to not do those anymore since getting fropped off another board for pointing out to someone that he was behaving in a characteristically psychotic fashion and desperately needed lithium.

			What's a dam ned? 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	There are many regional variants, mostly euphemisms, for damned, both as an oath and as a mild intensive. Southern exclamations and intensives tend to begin with dad-, a euphemism for "god"hence dadblamed, dadblasted, dadburn, and dadgum. Dadgum can be combined with it in the interjection dadgummit. Another such euphemism is the better-known doggone, probably originally Southern but now widespread. Like dadgum, doggone is used as a mild intensive: "The best doggone deals in Alabama" (billboard in Montgomery). Doggone likewise appears in phrasal interjections: Doggonit, I dropped my hammer. A common Southern and South Midland variant of damned is durn, also euphemistic and relatively mild, as in this snatch of Baltimore dialogue: "If that's not just the weirdest durn thing I ever laid eyes on" (Anne Tyler).  |

			Another one from my grandpa was "fat-bucket", almost always accompanied by grandma's "SHUSH!". Anything especially good was a "whang-dang-doodle".
