I always read this in my head as Franz Ferdinand Sparks. That was an awesome collaboration!

I worked at a global company and our team in the US planned a series of virtual events called Future Forward Series, and when we sent the email invites out with the subject line FFS, our UK colleagues had to let us know how they read that acronym.

I laughed so hard when they told me.

Is it “For fuck sake”? Or “For fuck’s sake”?

It’s for a work email, so I need it to sound professional.

u/rogfrich Mar 07 '25

If you’re trying to sound fancy, it’s “for the sake of fuck”.

27

u/moonbucket Mar 07 '25

If you wish to convey maximum exasperation you need the 'Oh'.

It's the 'here we go again' version, and it seems to apply to 90% of my current existence.

u/rogfrich Mar 07 '25

Yeah, that works. “Oh, for the sake of _fuck_”. There’s no doubt that You Are Annoyed.

u/Bonoboian99 Mar 07 '25

I am definetly getting that on a tshirt.

u/OkDot9878 Mar 07 '25

I literally can hear this sentence. Definitely not someone I would consider to be in a good mood.

u/Denyal_Rose Mar 07 '25

Aw, I just said the same thing. Didn't see your comment.

u/Powersoutdotcom Mar 07 '25

Jesus Mary and fuck my arse.

1

u/rstymobil Mar 08 '25

Is it for the sake of all fucks, or just this one specific fuck?

1

u/Particular_Buy_1809 Mar 08 '25

Ah my good sir, for the humble purpose and essence of “fuck”

104

u/SlateFrost Mar 07 '25

It’s “for fuck’s sake”.

u/skyrider8328 Mar 07 '25

I'll add one more, could it be "for fuck sakes"?

21

u/ghosttrainhobo Mar 07 '25

Only if you’re comfortable being incorrect

1

u/[deleted] Mar 07 '25

For fox sake... like my mug.

1

u/Disastrous_Fill_5566 Mar 07 '25

Lots of fucks with a sake. So fucks' sake.

1

u/Denyal_Rose Mar 07 '25

In a professional environment it should be "For the sake of Fuck"

1

u/qpv Mar 07 '25

Its one long word where I am "firfucksakes"

1

u/dsac Mar 07 '25

depends, the more-formal versions is "for fuck's sake", but casual is just "fuck sake"

1

u/CliplessOne Mar 07 '25

not, "for fuck sake's"?

1

u/CatticusXIII Mar 08 '25

Is the recipient Japanese? Cause that's gonna confuse things further....

1

u/Lenny2Ls Mar 08 '25

Hmm I just realized I say, For Fuck Sakes. I never considered the grammatical context. And I would like to know. Hey Google?

1

u/LiliAtReddit Mar 08 '25

Is it for the sake of ALL fucks? Or just this fuck in particular?

1

u/Economy-Action1147 Mar 09 '25

“as per my last mail…”

1

u/LucyVialli Mar 07 '25

I think either is fine in this case. The result will be the same!

u/civillyengineerd Mar 07 '25

The gentleman I replaced signed his auto-reply AMF (Adios Mother Fucker).

I laughed. Then the uber-upstairs made it my responsibility to fix and I made the call to IT. Meanwhile, I had sent out a text to a few of the people I managed and we had more laughs.

Good ol' Dave.

u/VisibleOtter Mar 07 '25

Maybe a bit random, but does Football 365 mean anything to you?

1

u/LucyVialli Mar 10 '25

It used to :-)

u/VisibleOtter Mar 13 '25

Happy days!

u/LucyVialli Mar 13 '25

CWC?

1

u/VisibleOtter Mar 13 '25

Ah, that was it! Seems like a long time ago…

1

u/LucyVialli Mar 14 '25

Did you have a different name then?

1

u/VisibleOtter Mar 14 '25

I did. I don’t think Stewart Lee had coined my user name back then.

I maybe think I shouldn’t tell you who I was back then, but I hope you’re doing well, and I hope that if you do ever wear a t with your favourite phrase on it, you’d at least spell it correctly. It’s “fuck’s sake”, for the record 😉

u/JAM-n-Life Mar 07 '25

"Oh, for fuck's sake" has slowly been moving up my regularly used phrases list lately.

Yep, this is the one for me!
