What Day Is It?

It's "For Pete's Sake Day!"

 

For Pete's sake how did "for Pete's sake" get started?

 

 

For "the love of Pete" I have no idea but I found some information and it sounds legit so I'm going with it.

 

According to "usatoday.com":

"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.

 

 

For Pete's sake, don't get sāke confused with säkē, or for the love of Pete you'll be hung-over tomorrow!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have a Magnificent Monday!
