Especially effective when mentioned while watching a film (especially a big budget one) or listening to the new release of a song (preferably by a big pop star).
I just donβt see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.
YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

A drawing of three men having a discussion. The text reads, "Quick question. Is it 'for fucks sake' or 'for fuck sake?' It's for a work email, so it has to sound professional. Neither: It's 'for fuck's sake,' the sake is on behalf of the fuck, so you need a possessive. It should have an apostrophe to show possessive. The REAL question is whether it should be 'for fuck's sake' or 'for fucks' sake.' Is it for the sake of ALL the fucks or just this fuck in particular?"
I prefer the singular possessive, "Oh, for fuck's sake." It just sounds more professional.
