A mild British expletive of annoyance or frustration — the kind of thing you mutter when something goes wrong but you're keeping it relatively clean. It's a softer, more restrained alternative to stronger swear words, conveying exasperation without full-on profanity. Think of it as the British equivalent of 'dammit' but dialed back a notch. Useful when you stub your toe in polite company or when something minor but irritating goes sideways.
Curse it, I left my wallet on the kitchen counter again.
