Default Re: Queen of Spain
"You'd do a d*** lot if you were the Queen of Spain".

Hi

I think d*** is probably 'damn' which in this context might be a quantifier. 'Damn' here might stress the word 'lot' and make it stronger. For example, if I say "I'm damn sorry" (informal) it's like 'I'm really sorry'. Does this make sense?
