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!

Where was Gondor when the Westfuck fell?

Did they find out?

[-] Deuces@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No my lord Aragon, we are fucked.

[-] ColonelSanders@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

They may take our lives, but they can never take... OUR FUCKS!!!!

[-] aksdb@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Unless they are given. But typically in these constellations they aren't.

[-] ColonelSanders@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've always admired the Fuck Constellation. I believe it's somewhere between the Big Dipper and Orion.

And with you, old friend

[-] axlc@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

May the Fuck be with you, because it damn sure won't be with me

[-] h_ramus@lemm.ee 57 points 1 year ago

Correct. The sake brewed by the fuck is the best sake. Fuck's sake is the best sake (Japanese rice wine for the uninitiated).

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago

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

[-] odium@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

But I can't taste it because I don't have a tongue

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] ReginaPhalange@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sake brewed by the fuck is semen... just saying

[-] Bunnylux@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

I also think for fucks' sake is correct. For the sake of all the fucks previously and all the ones to come.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Could it not also be the plural possessive? "For the sake of all fucks"? In that case, it would be "For fucks' sake."

Dear Sir/Madam/Gamer

For the sake of fuck!

Yours faithfully

[-] MxM111@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

Should then Fuck’s be capitalized? It’s his sake!

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

When in doubt, just capitalize the entire phrase. Allow me to demonstrate: FOR FUCK'S SAKE

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

It better be for the sake of the fuck of whoever I'm talking to. Because I've run all out of mine

[-] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

All fucks given, we're all out.

[-] MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

God, I should’ve paid more attention in middle school English class.
