The phrase orginated from “for God’s sake”. Therefore, it should be “for fuck’s sake”.
Exactly, ownership.
For the sake of the fuck.
And to that point, it is most definitely not “For God Sakes”.
You’re gonna get fired regardless of which one you choose.
People still use Quora??? That’s kind of like asking a dog or cat for advice… And not a particularly smart dog or cat for that matter
Quora results show up way more often than “that other website” now when I Google stuff. Google really took that exodus to heart lmao
But yeah fuck quora and their “sign in to see answers” and then it’s just more questions half the page. But sometimes it’s useful
Yeah I even tried to stay with “that other website” after July 1st but they clearly don’t want anyone there cuz they keep banning everyone’s accounts including mine.
Yahoo Answers?
They’re also wrong about everything except the one dude three answers down
Disclaimer: I have never posted anything on Quora. However, on rather specific subjects, especially things relative to cultures and communities, I’ve had limited good luck there after Google searches… Even a trash pile at times has more value than we attribute it.
Sure, but you have to rummage through trash to find it. I’m sure there’s gold and jewellery at the dump, not about to go looking for it though.
Asking strangers for advice online is so unreliable you might as well ask ChatGPT every time now.
That’s what I’ve been doing and it’s been brilliant
Where do you think ChatGPT scraped in the first place?
That’s exactly why I said “you might as well”. Because it’s the same shit but faster
For fuck’s ache.
ky jelly is pretty good for that
I always say “for fucks sake” but now im realizing makes its “for fuck’s sake”? Not sure who fuck is though.

For the sake of the fuck, for fuck’s sake.
If there are multiple fucks, the apostrophe is after the ‘s’.
There usually are multiple fucks.
The fuck is not a who or we it would be for Fuck’s sake.
Oh, maybe Fuck is what the merry men called Friar Tuck when they were drunk!
“Tire Fuck”
It reminds me of a local translation of Borderlands 2 in russian that added an edgy description to one weapon. Since we are a host of such a thing as orthodox christianity, with holy trinity to top it all, there is a common wording like ‘In the name of the God, the Son, the Holy Spirit’. They took it and themed it after pigs: ‘In the name of the oats, the hay, the piggy ear’. Here are original and remix:
Во имя Отца, и Сына, и Святого Духа
Во имя Овса, и Сена, и Свиного Уха
As you can see, most letters match, and they sound very close. There’s no reason for me to remember it for ten+ years, and now you know it too.
“for fuck sake” sounds more correct (also non native english speaker)

Just as the phrase is “for God’s sake,” the proper grammar is “for fuck’s sake.” It’s possessive. The fuck is the subject here, it’s for their sake. For the sake of the fuck.
For the sake of the Fuck!
** rides into battle
May the Fuck be with you.
And with you, old friend
May the Fuck be with you, because it damn sure won’t be with me
Where was Gondor when the Westfuck fell?
Fucking about probably
Did they find out?
They may take our lives, but they can never take… OUR FUCKS!!!
Unless they are given. But typically in these constellations they aren’t.
I’ve always admired the Fuck Constellation. I believe it’s somewhere between the Big Dipper and Orion.
For the sake of fuck!
Dear Sir/Madam/Gamer
For the sake of fuck!
Yours faithfully

It better be for the sake of the fuck of whoever I’m talking to. Because I’ve run all out of mine
All fucks given, we’re all out.
I also think for fucks’ sake is correct. For the sake of all the fucks previously and all the ones to come.
Should then Fuck’s be capitalized? It’s his sake!
When in doubt, just capitalize the entire phrase. Allow me to demonstrate: FOR FUCK’S SAKE
God, I should’ve paid more attention in middle school English class.
Correct. The sake brewed by the fuck is the best sake. Fuck’s sake is the best sake (Japanese rice wine for the uninitiated).
Sake brewed by the fuck is semen… just saying
Technically, the Japanese word “sake” can refer to pretty much any alcohol, although its use in English refers exclusively to the alcohol called nihonshu in Japan.
Also, while you’re correct that it is also colloquially referred to as “Japanese rice wine,” the drink is actually brewed in a manner closer to beer than wine.
Lastly, while Fuck’s sake is great, I’m sure, the best is Bink’s sake. Yohohoho
Easier to just use the Japanese word for a thing to mean a Japanese version of that thing rather than adding “Japanese” at the beginning of everything.
Katana - Japanese sword
Manga - Japanese comic
Anime - Japanese animated cartoon

I don’t know if I believe that or not, having been in Japan servers will ask you if you would like a biru, sake or shochu.
But I can’t taste it because I don’t have a tongue

Could it not also be the plural possessive? “For the sake of all fucks”? In that case, it would be “For fucks’ sake.”
I don’t know how to sound professional. Maybe try “on behalf of fuck’s sake”?
In this reading “behalf” and “sake” are doing the same thing for “fuck” so that usage read a little redundant to me. If you’re looking for the “on behalf of” structure you could go with:
“I you’ve told me you don’t give a fuck, but I do. On behalf of fuck, I’m communicating to you that the action requested needs to be completed by you and your team.”

Here’s one for you: “an apron” used to be “a napron”.
Linguists call this sort of change Rebracketing
Also “a norange” > “an orange” (in Spanish it’s “naranja”)
And it went backwards with napkin. “An apkin” > “a napkin”
100 years we might switch back again…
That’ll always be the dream…
Yes, but no. It was never a norange in english. English directly adopted the word orange from french, so that’s the no, but yes, it was the word naranja from spanish, who took it from arab, and arancia from italian, and maybe from the word gold in french, which is “or”.
I’ve never been so delighted to be wrong. Thank you—that’s fascinating.
Unbelievable, I find this kind of thing so fascinating. Thanks for posting.
…fuuuuuuuck.
Napkin and Napron comes from the same french word, which means " small cloth". The french word comes from the Latin “mappa” which is from where we directly get the word “map”.
Wait until you find out that a nickname used to be an ickname
Some of them still are.
Also, “an uncle” used to be “a nuncle.”
As a child I rebracketed two words until I was corrected by spell check as a teen- A stigmatism and an acompilation (complied collection of music or stories).
Me too, that seems like a weirdly specific thing for two people on Lemmy to do.
Rebracketing buddies! 🤜

Neither are correct for a work email. If you want to say “for fuck’s sakes”, instead say “as per our earlier discussion”.
Follow for more tips on how to insult people professionally in a work environment.
For the usual candidates I either keep detailed notes, or make sure I can quickly find an earlier conversation (chat, email, whatever).
So in that case I’m then just answering “As we’ve discussed on 14.04. at 13:39, 17.04 14:30 and 20.04 at 14:15 already…”
They typically get the hint that when I’m capable of remembering in detail when we discussed it they maybe should make an effort of remembering what we discussed.
These bastards tend to refuse to put anything down in writing and insist on calling or meeting face to face because “it’s faster”. But we all know it’s so they have no accountability on what they say.
Lack of accountability goes both ways, though…
In the enterprise everyone is equal but some are more equal than others. Not everyone can benefit from that lack of accountability and not everyone wants to, btw.
Then the trick is to immediately do the “follow up” email to recap what was discussed. And CC some folks who weren’t there.
Oh but they will neither confirm, nor correct you and then they will say that the recap was all wrong because reasons and they never even saw your email because too busy doing work or something
But that’s a good idea, actually, I’ll try that in my team interactions
The important part is to include something alongs the lines of "Please let me know if this is not correct by xx/yy/zzzz, otherwise we will proceed on the assumption it is.’ That way their ignoring your message becomes agreement and it is much harder for them to gi back on it.
Use their inaction to get the result you need.
Just send an email afterwards with the meeting notes. CC all participants and/or relevant people. They almost never contend the notes, and if they do, I invite more people to the meeting next time so they can’t pull that again.

Is it “for fucks sake” or “for fuck sake”? It’s for a work email so it has to sound professional.
