A folksy, old-fashioned American expletive that softens 'goddamnit' into something you could theoretically say in front of your grandmother. Goldarnit belongs to that cherished tradition of minced oaths — words that preserve the emotional release of a swear word while swapping out the offensive part. You'd expect to hear it from a cartoon prospector, an old Western character, or someone who's trying very hard not to actually curse. It's simultaneously an expression of frustration and a kind of charm.
Goldarnit, I left my wallet at home again on the one day I actually needed cash.
