    Just as the phrase is “for God’s sake,” the proper grammar is “for fuck’s sake.” It’s possessive. The fuck is the subject here, it’s for their sake. For the sake of the fuck.

      Correct. The sake brewed by the fuck is the best sake. Fuck’s sake is the best sake (Japanese rice wine for the uninitiated).

        Technically, the Japanese word “sake” can refer to pretty much any alcohol, although its use in English refers exclusively to the alcohol called nihonshu in Japan.

        Also, while you’re correct that it is also colloquially referred to as “Japanese rice wine,” the drink is actually brewed in a manner closer to beer than wine.

        Lastly, while Fuck’s sake is great, I’m sure, the best is Bink’s sake. Yohohoho

            I don’t know if I believe that or not, having been in Japan servers will ask you if you would like a biru, sake or shochu.

          Easier to just use the Japanese word for a thing to mean a Japanese version of that thing rather than adding “Japanese” at the beginning of everything.

          Katana - Japanese sword

          Manga - Japanese comic

          Anime - Japanese animated cartoon

      I also think for fucks’ sake is correct. For the sake of all the fucks previously and all the ones to come.

      Could it not also be the plural possessive? “For the sake of all fucks”? In that case, it would be “For fucks’ sake.”
