A Civil War era way to emphasize a counterpoint.
The cultish bubbly girl always wanted a darn war in her words because she was vicious, but didn't want to sound vicious by saying something less PG or Disney friendly.
It means damn, but so that it isn't a curse word, that way in a non-formal way, you can say damn, in which would be acceptable.
Darn, I did it again.
used when you don't want to swear but you're annoyed
often young children or the elderly will use this
and also parents will too
parent: Fu- i mean, darn! I spilt my water all over the floor
child: Fu-!
parent: darn it.
child: Darn!!!! Fu-!
When someone does something stupid or says something stupid. You should use this around adults like teachers and parents if you're under the age of 13
"Oh DARN did u see Jaden get an F on the test" or "Darn low key on the DL got friend-zoned"
If theres one thing worse than saying darn or heck for emphasis, it's when somebody who's already said damn goes back and tries to say darn afterward. You were already as free as anybody else to say damn (and if you said damn you were free enough to say it), but you still go back and try to replace it with darn instead. Darn doesn't replace damn, that's why damn is damn, it's a different level of emphasis.
He/she was the kind of person who would claim that other people were responsible for his/her own internal auto correct. Other people just said damn instead of darn, they didnt have to have everything correct, politically or otherwise. Really he/she was the kind of plain and bossy minded person who didnt like resistance to his/her bullshit no cursing/be more than 100 percent functional policies/rules that even he/she didn't adhere to when nobody was looking.
a word that my grandpa says as he snaps his fingers
¨the dog shit on the carpet again¨
¨darn, that sounds like a you problem¨
