Neither are correct for a work email. If you want to say "for fuck's sakes", instead say "as per our earlier discussion".

Follow for more tips on how to insult people professionally in a work environment.

[–] aard@kyu.de 24 points 11 months ago (1 children)

For the usual candidates I either keep detailed notes, or make sure I can quickly find an earlier conversation (chat, email, whatever).

So in that case I'm then just answering "As we've discussed on 14.04. at 13:39, 17.04 14:30 and 20.04 at 14:15 already..."

They typically get the hint that when I'm capable of remembering in detail when we discussed it they maybe should make an effort of remembering what we discussed.

These bastards tend to refuse to put anything down in writing and insist on calling or meeting face to face because "it's faster". But we all know it's so they have no accountability on what they say.

[–] JasSmith@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

Just send an email afterwards with the meeting notes. CC all participants and/or relevant people. They almost never contend the notes, and if they do, I invite more people to the meeting next time so they can’t pull that again.

[–] aard@kyu.de 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Lack of accountability goes both ways, though...

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

In the enterprise everyone is equal but some are more equal than others. Not everyone can benefit from that lack of accountability and not everyone wants to, btw.

[–] Chickenstalker@lemmy.world 106 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The phrase orginated from "for God's sake". Therefore, it should be "for fuck's sake".

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 50 points 11 months ago

Exactly, ownership.

For the sake of the fuck.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

And to that point, it is most definitely not "For God Sakes".

[–] s_s@lemmy.one 55 points 11 months ago (5 children)

Here's one for you: "an apron" used to be "a napron".

Linguists call this sort of change Rebracketing

[–] thurmite@lemm.ee 14 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Also “a norange” > “an orange” (in Spanish it’s “naranja”)

And it went backwards with napkin. “An apkin” > “a napkin”

[–] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but no. It was never a norange in english. English directly adopted the word orange from french, so that's the no, but yes, it was the word naranja from spanish, who took it from arab, and arancia from italian, and maybe from the word gold in french, which is "or".

[–] thurmite@lemm.ee 11 points 11 months ago

I’ve never been so delighted to be wrong. Thank you—that’s fascinating.

[–] LemmysMum@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

100 years we might switch back again...

[–] thurmite@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

That’ll always be the dream…

[–] lugal@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wait until you find out that a nickname used to be an ickname

[–] LemmysMum@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Some of them still are.

[–] s_s@lemmy.one 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Napkin and Napron comes from the same french word, which means " small cloth". The french word comes from the Latin "mappa" which is from where we directly get the word "map".

[–] MrBobs@lemmy.one 3 points 11 months ago

Unbelievable, I find this kind of thing so fascinating. Thanks for posting.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

As a child I rebracketed two words until I was corrected by spell check as a teen- A stigmatism and an acompilation (complied collection of music or stories).

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Me too, that seems like a weirdly specific thing for two people on Lemmy to do.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Rebracketing buddies! 🤜

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Also, "an uncle" used to be "a nuncle."

It reminds me of a local translation of Borderlands 2 in russian that added an edgy description to one weapon. Since we are a host of such a thing as orthodox christianity, with holy trinity to top it all, there is a common wording like 'In the name of the God, the Son, the Holy Spirit'. They took it and themed it after pigs: 'In the name of the oats, the hay, the piggy ear'. Here are original and remix:

Во имя Отца, и Сына, и Святого Духа

Во имя Овса, и Сена, и Свиного Уха

As you can see, most letters match, and they sound very close. There's no reason for me to remember it for ten+ years, and now you know it too.

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I don't know how to sound professional. Maybe try "on behalf of fuck's sake"?

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

In this reading "behalf" and "sake" are doing the same thing for "fuck" so that usage read a little redundant to me. If you're looking for the "on behalf of" structure you could go with:

"I you've told me you don't give a fuck, but I do. On behalf of fuck, I'm communicating to you that the action requested needs to be completed by you and your team."

[–] DagonPie@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I always say “for fucks sake” but now im realizing makes its “for fuck’s sake”? Not sure who fuck is though.

[–] Kalkaline@leminal.space 4 points 11 months ago

For the sake of the fuck, for fuck's sake.

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The fuck is not a who or we it would be for Fuck's sake.

Oh, maybe Fuck is what the merry men called Friar Tuck when they were drunk!

[–] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

"Tire Fuck"

[–] deadcatbounce@reddthat.com -1 points 11 months ago

If there are multiple fucks, the apostrophe is after the 's'.

There usually are multiple fucks.

ky jelly is pretty good for that

Image Transcription: Quora


Is it "for fucks sake" or "for fuck sake"? It's for a work email so it has to sound professional.

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

You're gonna get fired regardless of which one you choose.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

ty Mr. Green

[–] pewpew@feddit.it -2 points 11 months ago

"for fuck sake" sounds more correct (also non native english speaker)
