Thinking about it I don't say any sakes, instead showing a caring and understanding attitude to those around me and what they may be going through

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.

They probably changed it to pity’s after they got fed up of Pete being a dickhead and claiming he was the new Christ

I have never used Pete’s but have used pity’s, fuck, Christ and even sometimes “for the sake of fucking Jesus Christ” (that is real angry mode)

Gor blimey.

Whenever I have heard one of you Londoners say that, I always thought you were saying cor blimey

 

[Wand3rlust]

I think it can be both. I tend to say it as a parody of myself…

cor or gor - either for me. My family said it a lot (east enders), i prefer the Gordon Bennett cry of anguish

Who was Gordon Bennett, ffs?

 

[orangecurious]

Who was Gordon Bennett, ffs?

A newspaper tycoon... and a very horrible man.

He sent Stanley to look for Livingston, even though the latter wasn't actually lost. this then set up a whole series of similar things, even sending people out on expeditions to then send someone to "find" them at a later date... many lives were lost (including one spectacularly awful one in Siberia).

If i can remember correctly, he ended up living on a boat so he couldn't be arrested.

So Gordon Bennett was a massive philanthropist who funded Dr Livingstone's trip to find the source of the Nile.

The original blasphemous phrase was God Blind Me - which evolved into Gor Blimey and then the religious changed that to Gordon Bennett
