What does "Dang" mean? Something like damm? Something more in a positive or pejorative sense?

"Dang" is slang for "#$&*@!." It is just as impolite, but makes the orator sound 15 years old.

It's a euphemism ("watered-down" way of saying) the correct spelling of the word you mentioned. :P

Watered down version of #$&*@!, as Kralik said. Typically used down south.  :up:

Not to beat a dead horse, but saying "dang" just makes you sound like a kid whose parent is in the room over and afraid of getting caught swearing.

No, I just didn't realize there was a page 2 until after I posted.  :P
Then I decided I'd have to sound like I was adding something.  ;)

Oh, sorry. I meant [Saying "dang"] makes the orator sound like they are afraid of getting in trouble for swearing.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
