What does DANG mean in Scrabble?

informalNorth American
A mild substitute for a stronger word of annoyance.
Dang belongs to the same family as darn and dagnabbit: sounds kept close enough to the original to be recognised and far enough away to be printable. It is heard as rural and American, and in fiction it does more to place a speaker than to show feeling — a character who says dang is being located as much as quoted.
