Daggum!

Yes, I actually have heard this expression used about 4 times in the last 2 days. Your vocabulary lesson for today is: this is an expression used commonly in North Carolina. It means wow, I can't believe it. As in, "Daggum, it is hot out here!" or "Did you see him do that? Daggum!!" I was laughing at this because in the trailer for the new Cars cartoon movie coming out, the tow truck alwasys says "Daggum!" It is about a race car, so he could totally be in NC - Nascar territory!
