Back to the original question... I know I've heard "gorramn" in movies about WWI. I don't think it was made up for the series, more likely appropriated.

Makes sense to me.

While watching the BDM for the 10th time or so,..I decided to put on the subtitles so I could catch all the little parts I missed. to be sure what I heard.
Seems the subtitle people spell it:
GorramN
Not sure if this is correct, just wondered if you guys encountered it spelled with the "N" anywhere else.

I am *so* loving this thread.
The great Smeg? Oh, mama.
"lan" meaning "bad, screwed, rotten?" Yes.
a quote:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Similarly, "lan" also means "bad,screwed,rotten" in Mandrain and some dielects, for example, in Hokkien, "du-ran" means "fucked up".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now, could this have anything to do with the name of Durran Haymer in "Trash?"
TCM, the story of your license plate is definitely appreciated. Wonder what would happen in CA?
(not even going to bring up Duran Duran, am I?)

It's about fifty-fifty in the scripts but not chronologically. They go back and forth, and it doesn't seem to be because of different writers. Joss Whedon wrote the pilot with "gorramn" and Objects in Space with "gorram." He also had Jayne saying both "Gorrammit" and "Gorramnit..." in the movie.

Kinda off topic but interesting-
I just looked up Gorram on the licence plate search for the state of New Hampshire and it's avalible--
I can't grab it but thought someone else might like the heads up.

Two years ago, (and last year also) I had a desk top callendar of "Forgotten English" and one of the words in it was Gorram, which it defined as a contraction of God Damn.
I wish I still had that day, and I could post exactly what it said, but alas, it was before I had found the 'verse.
*EDIT*
I emailed the guy who does the Forgotten English stuff, and apparently he's never heard of it and could find no mention of it... (which obviously means it was wishful thinking that I'd seen it in the callendar)
