Just one of many words given to us by nineteenth-century preachers, to keep us from "saying the Lord's name in vain", e.g. Dad Gum, Dagnabbit, Gull Darnit, Gee Whiz, Jeezo-Pete, Gull Dangit, Dang Me, Durnt, etc. When Jesse James was still a Confederate guerilla, he accidentally shot off the tip of one of his fingers, while cleaning a revolver. He is supposed to have remarked:"That's the Durnt Dingus wound I ever did see!" For that reason, he was nicknamed "Dingus" by his comrades.
