Oh for f**k's sake :facepalm_smiley:

Wait, should I have an apostrophe there ? F**k isn't a person, so I don't think so :D

Yes, and apostrophe is necessary when one uses an "s" after f**k to express possession; while "for f**k sake" would also suffice requiring no "s". But then again " f**ks' " sake would also be correct where more than one "f**k" 's sake is in reference.
