If your sed allows, use a delimiter other than '/' so that you do
not have to escape it to reduce the clutter...

  echo 'damn/it' | sed -e 's!damn/!bloody !'


In other words, use a delimiter that does not occur in search
pattern or replacement to minimize number of things to focus on.

I have a feeling, but have not actually tried, that you may be
overescaping things in sed command.
