The FFS Project: POLL for native / fluent Czech speakers about swearing
I am making a collection of sweary phrases for a grumpy but colourful art project. The whole collection to date is here: https://eclectech.co.uk/ffs
I'm after things you might say when shouting in angry frustration at a news headline (where an exasperated "for fuck's sake" is common in English).
I have been offered the suggestions below for Czech. Please vote for the one(s) you would choose to use, and I will add the top voted to the collection.
If this has landed in your timeline & you don't know what I'm talking about, the original thread about the project is here

Thank you to everyone who boosts these dumb little ads I write. It is all that keeps me out of a ditch, slurping the moisture out of rocks for sustenance.
Why mask?
Before covid i used to get sick 2 or 3 times a year, knocked out for a week or two each time.
Since then i've been consistently masking indoors and on public transit. It's been about 7 years since the last time i was sick. I think i gotten sniffles twice since then, barely lasting a day, and that's it.
So this little habit have accumulated me about 6 months of extra quality lifetime, and counting.
That's one reason.
@ozzelot also not "Time For Teletubbies" luckily
