This is how the gears in my brain turn. I should start a support group for overthinkers so instead of driving ourselves crazy, we can drive each other crazy.π€£
Thank you for clarification! I believe it depends on what you are referring to, whether the fuckery is singular or plural. We don't have a BnF, other than dictionaries, to do the job.
I think it's pretty clear that "fuck" isn't a verb in this context or a plural number of noun-ified "fucks". It is the grand unified all-of-fuck, and thus the singular posessive case is most appropriate.
No it's how many sakes does a fuck have?
One sake, one fuck.
For fuck's sake.
> You're still correct, just incorrectly correct. And as Futurama has taught us, that's the worst kind of correct.
I'd choose singular, "for fuck's sake." I would assume it coincides with the initial reaction of "what the fuck?" (singular) on the topic (singular) at hand.
The phrase is a variation of "For God's sake," presumably to avoid the use of "God" in vain. Therefore, the correct placement of that apostrophe would be on a singular fuck. "For fuck's sake." The real real question is then: should the fuck be capitalized?
Fuckkin' aaaaaaaaay!
But I think you should have placed a comma after the first 'real.'
And by 'Capitalized' do you mean the 'c' should be uppercase? Or turned into money? Or 'gaining by turning something to advantage'?
It's 2025. My glorious autocorrect determines my spelling. My higher faculties are completely dominated by AI deepfakes of Elmo being mean to Republicans while Bert and Ernie ghost ride the whip. I am enlightened.
Where do Oscar and Big Bird fit into this scenario? One of them is really mean and the other would be terrific as directed muscle to physically tear new ones all over the goddamn place.
Oscar only exists to teach children to ignore homelessness. That's why he "loves" trash and acts like a drunken asshole. Big Bird is a metaphor for the infantilized urban bourgeois of the late 20th C. Obviously, one was arrested for "loitering" and the other is more concerned about his own comfort.
As I remember it, the first time I saw a muppet was on the Ed Sullivan show in the mid-sixties, where Ed was just kibitzing with Kermit. I would have been 10 or 11. It was big news that the muppets would be seen every weekday on a new show on PBS in 1969. I watched the first show. I was 13 or 14.
It should be βfor fucksβ sakeβ, not on behalf of all fucks but on behalf of multiple fucks. βI donβt give a fuckβ means I donβt care much, so a single fuck is not a meaningful amount. βFFSβ means something is important, so it has to be on the sake of more than one fuck.
Fuck All (Grammar)!

It really depends on when you're asking the question. Historically? There were an absolute shit load of christs. Colloquially? The phrase only ever refers to the one famous christ. Although those slippery s's are how we got the s-plural in the first place.
Back in my dive bar tending days this was a regular 'happy hour' conversation, helps when the patrons were college professors, students and high school teachers off for the summer.
What is it with the Leftist obsession with the word "Fuck"? It's like you can't make a comment or statement without it. Is it like a badge of honor or an unwritten rule to show ones political position?
I feel this really hard as somebody who just sent the meanest feeling professional email that I could possibly muster up. Had to send it to my mom beforehand to be like is this a professional thing to send to my supervisor? According to her it was which I think affirms that I could have been meaner.

For the sake of the fucks that have yet to have been given.
(Sorry Aunty B)
It can be "For fuck's sake," for one fuck or "For Fucks' sake, for multiple fucks.
SMH . . .
That fucking fuckerβs fucking fucked.
One sake, one fuck.
For fuck's sake.
> You're still correct, just incorrectly correct. And as Futurama has taught us, that's the worst kind of correct.
Doesn't that make "God" plural, such as in "men's"
To equate it would mean that it's for the sake of "fucks" - plural
Thus:
For fucks' sake
Capital or lower case f?
π€·ββοΈπ«’
Otherwise fuck outside of the sexual meaning is a name?
"I don't give a Fuck!"
But I think you should have placed a comma after the first 'real.'
And by 'Capitalized' do you mean the 'c' should be uppercase? Or turned into money? Or 'gaining by turning something to advantage'?
