Colloquial 'curi' form of damn Explanation: Darn/dardest are polite, usually US, colloquial forms of 'damn' which is 'condenar' or a variation on the theme. However, to use 'condenado' here is a bit strong. The sentence conveys 'satisfaction' even 'delight', or else 'surprise'or 'bewilderment',depending on the context.
