So basically Damar is our version of: Da-Bomb! :-)

to me it mean complete and utter devestation but in Jordanian colloquial it can be used to replace many adjectives, it think, to express an ezzagerated response. For example: Kanat el hafleh damar- party was great.

We use words anywhich way we like them. Its all about context ..no?

I love the example you included- "saying goodbye to you is devastating.” Brilliant! I wonder if it is used as much elsewhere in Arabic speaking countries and if they do use it in the same way.

Words are amazing.

Damar in Arabic means “damage,” “destruction,” “devastating.” When someone is telling a story and he is saying a situation was devastatingly exciting or extremely embarrassing, he would say: “wow, it was just dammar!”
