| 词组 | damn |
| 释义 | damn noun something of little or no worth UK, 1760 Usually in phrases like “not worth a damn”, “not care a damn” and “not give a damn”. “Who gives a damn about that?” (R.F. Delderfield, Give Us This Day, p. 57,1973). There is a strongly fought historical argument (Hobson-Jobson, 1903, and Partridge’s 1931 annotated reprint of Francis Grose’s Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue) that this derives from “dam” (an Indian coin of little value); the Oxford English Dictionary prefers “damn” (a “profane utterance”) as the object of this etymology.
