Is it "for Pete sake" or "for Pete's sake"?

I learned it as “Pete”s”, as it denotes Pete’s ownership of the sake.

Pete’s.

Do it for Pete!

@rebbel in Japan they read it 酒,

It should be “Put some pants on, for God’s sake!”

Many use Peter instead of God, so they aren’t taking the Lord’s name in vain (which is a sin), was my understanding.

I would love to hear the Japanese interpretation actually!

I see what you did @zenvelo ! ;>)

It is for the sake of Peter (the apostle, not the Beatles’ first drummer), so…”for Pete’s sake”.

how do they read that in Japan?

Fou pitosu saki (フォーピートスサーキー)

This is how I think a Japanese says thay phrase, in Japanese accent.

oh for Christ’s sake!
