On its own, without any further context, "damn!", for which it's a euphemistic replacement.

As a writer cum editor, I too think em-dash and en-dash (— and –, respectively).
My next thought is a short sprint, like the 100m dash.
My next thought is a hasty departure. Sorry, guys, I have to dash now.
