My high school biology teacher would say “darn” instead of “dam” because “damn” was a bad word. It was funny and many students took his class.
During a practicing a scene from “Annie”–where FDR’ cabinet was discussing projects to get Americans to work again, each actor (student) was blurting out things to build, like “bridges.” The kid who was supposed to shout “dams” instead shouted out “darns.” It took a few minutes for the laughter to die down so we could practice the scene again.
