Canadians, Mexicans, and US peoples, have shared behaviors, and languages that makes us identifiable to the outside world. Generally other parts of the world treat Canadians and Americans the same when they come to a restaurant underdressed or aghast at the lack of ice. (At least they used to). We have shared customs and foods.

Right now I’m not sure if it’s “For Fu#k’s Sake” or “For Fu#k Sake.
It’s for a work email so I need it to sound professional.

In this case, “F” is a possessive noun, therefore the “sake” belongs to “F” – apostrophe S…
For F’s sake…

Waiter bar tender asked where everyone was from she said Canada and he says to her oh the Americans. She was appalled and I had to listen to her complain about the US. He asked me and I said the states and he says oh the Americans. He then tried to explain to her that Mexico Canada Us is the Americans to him and them. She didn’t like that by the way. He then went on that he loved all Americans. I smiled while she bitched and tip the guy generously on my next drink.
Kind of reminds me of Cheach and Chong when they sing Mexican American song.
