Say it in Three Words

FOR PETES SAKE The phrase comes from a polite version of a sort of profane expression involving the name of Christ the original 'Pete' was St. Peter its called
a minced oath. :)

I know its more than three words but thats who Pete is
arent you sorry you asked now? haha
 
Nah :lol:


I knew you would explain it, I know the saying and say it but never know the meaning behind it... just like the saying bobs your uncle and lots of others but they all have meanings :huh::lol:

it comes from the slang phrase all is bob meaning that everything is safe good or satisfactory from the seventeenth century? There have been other slang expressions containing bob some connected with stealing or gambling and from the eighteenth century on it was also a common generic name for somebody you didnt know This might have started its beginning? LOL
