I once joked with my friends(let's call then A and B) on some forum. I said:"A is so mean with money that he even would take some toilet paper to his home."

then B replied:"I bet he did!"

and then A replied:"darn right! I did!"

I asked what is "darn right". but he was so busy with his work that he never showed again.

so my question is: what did he mean by "darn right"? is that slang?

thanks

There was a time when "Damn right" would have been vulgar. "Darn right" was a more tolerable way to say it. Now "damn" needs to be avoided only in rather formal situations.
