Cathy from Chili Library here, and I realized that it has been FOR-EV-ER since I posted something and it made me think …
FOR PETE’S SAKE why haven’t I shared lots of wonderful things with you? Then I found out that it’s … FOR PETE’S SAKE DAY! How perfect! I’m totally annoyed that I haven’t had much of interest to share, so I knew that I needed to share this with you! 🙂
Have a great For Pete’s Sake Day everyone! How will you celebrate?
According to an article in USA Today,
“For Pete’s sake” originated as a substitute for “for Christ’s sake,” and other similar expressions.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, “for Pete’s sake” came into use more than a century ago and prompted similar sayings such as “for the love of Pete” in 1906 and “in the name of Pete” in 1942.
… It was started by a former radio talk show host in Lebanon, Pa., Tom Roy and his wife, Ruth.”
And according to Writing Explained,
” Definition: Oh my goodness! This interjection expresses frustration or annoyance. Similar expressions include for crying out loud and for pity’s sake.””
Do you ever use for “for Pete’s sake”?
