"Damn (something/someone) !"
or much less commonly: "Curse (something/someone)"
means you wish bad for that thing/person. It is short for "May you be damned!" or "(May) God damn you!"
It probably came from "God damn you", but people don't say "God" because using the word "God" in a negative way is traditionally frowned upon. (it's called "using the Lord's name in vain")
The verb "damn" means something like 咒罵。
