More on the use of "damn."

Well, times do change. You must be pretty long in the tooth yourself, Ish! ;-)

Couldn't resist looking up "damn" in the dictionary -- The American Heritage Dictionary -- and, whaddyaknow, "damn" is no longer even considered a cuss word! And that is according to the 1969 edition, which came out 30 years ago! Lookee here, at the definition of "damn" as a noun:

(informal)The least valuable bit; a jot; [as in] don't give a damn; not worth a damn
