    Here's another version: Dag`Nab It

    Now if you're a Bugs Bunny fan you will hear this utterance coming from Yosemite Sam.
    "God knows why it is that my pianoforte music always makes the worst impression on me, especially when it is played badly." -Beethoven 1804.

      No you never hear that here. Nobody would take offence at 'damn it' in the UK at least!

        I wondered where "Dag nab it" came from. As a kid I would have had my mouth washed out with soap for saying "damn it". But then I lived in a fairly conservative culture.
