for fuck's sake
phrase: someone says these words (see more)
Something happened. I didn’t want this something to happen. I wanted something else to happen. Because of this I feel something very bad.
I think like this: I don’t want to do anything now. I feel something very bad because of this. I know I have to do something now.
I want other people to know how I think. Because of this, I say this. At the same time, I say this word “fuck”.
I think about this word like this: Many people can feel something very bad when they hear this word. Many people think it is bad if someone says this word. I don’t think the same. I want to say this word.
"For fuck's sake, do you have to wear that creepy Santa mask every Christmas?"
"Do you want to be late again? For fuck's sake, hurry up!"
