An American minced oath — a euphemistic substitution for 'goddamn.' 'Gosh' replaces 'God' and 'durn' (or 'darn') replaces 'damn.' Used in contexts where outright profanity is avoided, particularly in older Southern and rural American speech. Conveys frustration or emphasis without the direct blasphemy.
That goshdurn door won't stay shut no matter what I do.
