godverdomme

== Dutch == === Etymology === Univerbation of God + verdomme. Literally, “God dammit, may God damn”. The -me is not the pronoun me, but represents the dated subjunctive suffix -e (preceded by a second -m- to mark the penultimate syllable as closed and the pronunciation of its vowel as short). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˌɣɔt.vərˈdɔ.mə/ Rhymes: -ɔmə Hyphenation: god‧ver‧dom‧me === Interjection === godverdomme (vulgar, potentially offensive) Goddamn! (vulgar, potentially offensive) fuck! ==== Usage notes ==== Offensive to devout Christians, for uttering God's name in vain. A very common imprecation with an elaborate variety of minced variants (such as gedverdemme) and intensified, dysphemistic derivations (such as godverdetyfus). ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== nondeju godverkanker (highly offensive) ==== Descendants ==== → Indonesian: hotperdom → Walloon: godferdom
