- [5] : THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993)
damn, v. a word formerly much used by the paphlagonians, the meaning
of which is lost. by the learned dr. dolabelly gak it is believed to
have been a term of satisfaction, implying the highest possible degree
of mental tranquillity. professor groke, on the contrary, thinks it
expressed an emotion of tumultuous delight, because it so frequently
occurs in combination with the word _jod_ or _god_, meaning "joy." it
would be with great diffidence that i should advance an opinion
conflicting with that of either of these formidable authorities.
