What if you've got multiple fucks to give sake? Like for fucks' sake? I guess you'd need multiple sakes in that case.
If you invoke fuck's sake in corporate correspondence you doesn't have no more fucks to give.
Oh for fuck’s sake!!
The poster totally knew that.
Classical engagement baiting strategy.
it's neither. the fuck is possessive, like "for pete's sake" or "for god's sake." it's for the sake of the fuck.
I feel like “for the sake of fuck” carries its own unique weight.
Yup, I think I'll just slip that one into my lexicon
Who possesses the sake? Whose sake is it? Fuck possesses the sake. 's
And more importantly, is it warm or cold sake?

Jeeze, too many people didn't pay attention to middle school english classes.
Fun trick I learned in the NE US and thus call the “fuckouttahere” rule:
Due to the sheer lexical versatility of “fuck,” many idioms have a punchier, high-utility variant that omits any or all words preceding it.
As in “fuck’s sake, ma’am, this is a Wendy’s.”
how come I member it as
for fuck sakes
For fuck, shake.
