      What if you’ve got multiple fucks to give sake? Like for fucks’ sake? I guess you’d need multiple sakes in that case.

        If you invoke fuck’s sake in corporate correspondence you doesn’t have no more fucks to give.

    it’s neither. the fuck is possessive, like “for pete’s sake” or “for god’s sake.” it’s for the sake of the fuck.

      I feel like “for the sake of fuck” carries its own unique weight.

        And more importantly, is it warm or cold sake?

    Fun trick I learned in the NE US and thus call the “fuckouttahere” rule:

    Due to the sheer lexical versatility of “fuck,” many idioms have a punchier, high-utility variant that omits any or all words preceding it.

    As in “fuck’s sake, ma’am, this is a Wendy’s.”
