Just heard an interview of Bobby Bowden and he said "Dad Gumit" and "Dad Gum" were his favorite swear words. I think I know what Freaking, gosh, dang, Gad" are substitutes for, but I'm not sure what "Dad Gumit" and "Dad Gum" are substitutes for? Is there a "Mother Gum?" or a "Mother Gumit"?
Replace "d Gum" with "mn ".

Dad Gumit = God damn it.
Dad Gum = God damn.
It's a sort of a spoonerism with a vowel shift!
Thanks Glenn and Emmett. So I suppose everyone in the South knows that when I say "Dad Gumit" they all translate it in their heads as God Damn it. I wonder if God is fooled when she hears this code?
As I once had to say when I needed to make a Samuel L Jackson reference on a forum with very strict anti-profanity rules: "I have had it with these muffler-huggin' snakes on this muffin-luggin' plane!"
