I issey1 Senior Member France English/ENGLAND how would you say "for goodness sake" in French? I know there is "pour l'amour de Dieu" but in English "for goodness sake" is often used a way of avoiding the blasphemous conotations of "for God's sake".

I issey1 Senior Member France English/ENGLAND Thanks. Does that still get the same meaning of annoyance across? E.g For goodness/god's sake, this computer doesn't work either! Par pitié, pour l'amour de Dieu, cet ordinateur ne marche pas non plus!
