Has he got an exam today?

If so. Cold flannel. Or take his covers. Or take his tech. Or threaten to remove his door.

If not. Leave him.

My 20 year old is the same. I bought him an alarm clock that is so loud you can hear it down the street. It has a vibrating pad that goes under his pillow and flashing lights that looks like his room has been invaded by the whole of the police force. Even that doesn’t wake him up!

Par for the course I'm afraid... no solution until their pre-frontal cortex finally settles down

I just saw a post that @barefootgirl69 made on another thread where she says “for Pete’s sake”. I googled this because I have always said “for pity’s sake”. They are both terms that mean the same thing so, as they are both apparently British terms, I am interested in which one you use (if it is something you say)

All very good but extreme violence it is,

I say Pete. But have used both.

Looks weird seeing it written down though.

Dammit.

I’d say Pete’s sake too. But haven’t used pity’s sake

Would it work if I knock the frontal cortex out of him,

 

[NorthernCardinal]

it's FFS or nowt. But I've heard Pete's, Pity's, heavens, God's... ssdd

 

[Biggalute]

Allays think of pity as updated version as if pete is old English, not sure though

 

[Daisy_Love]

Oh God sake is my go to in public
But ffs is my favourite
I find swearing liberating and satisfying.
Nothing else quite cuts it when I’m ragin!!

Or cross as @Wand3rlust says hahaha

 

[Wand3rlust]

Yeah. I say ffs a lot.
But the other are for when I'm at work etc.

 

[lingus60]

Google reckons that "Pete's sake" was first used in early 1900s as a way to avoid saying for "Christ's sake", it being seen as blasphemous. Pete being one of the apostles.

 

[lingus60]

Yep; I use God's sake in polite company.... FFS when the kids are being dicks

 

[lingus60]

For sure... might not help his exam chances much though
