Anyone from the UK?

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

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

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

 

[Biggalute]

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

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.

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

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

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)

Pete's

morning all

sorry, was ready an important email about nordic stuff

 

[Wriggle]

For peace sake ..... obviously

 

[Biggalute]

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

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

Bollocks.

The Japanese have rice sake

[AmberLGreen]

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)

Too much, Amber.... too much

Nope, disagree, there’s never enough when you’re f’n ragin’

Oh, sorry, cross

I'm glad my two were reasonably good.
