Definition
Plural of 'goddam,' meaning curses or condemnations uttered while invoking God.
Etymology
From 'goddam' or 'goddamn' (god + damn) with the regular plural suffix -s. The spelling 'goddam' without the 'n' represents a variant spelling, possibly influenced by pronunciation.
Kelly Says
The word 'goddam' without the final 'n' is particularly common in older texts and represents how spoken language shapes written forms—people naturally drop the 'n' in casual speech, and printers followed suit.
