Darn!

People say this when they're frustrated or disappointed:

Darn! My shirt ripped.

I missed my bus. Darn!

"Darn!" is a lighter version of the curse word "Damn!" People who don't like to curse can say "darn" instead. Or you can say "darn" if you're around young children, or want to sound polite.

I don't have anything to (do something) with.

This expression is useful for talking about a tool that you don't have:

A: Can you write this down?

B: I don't have anything to write with.

This screw is coming loose, but I don't have anything to screw it in with.
