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

Díky!
@jakecoppinger The ability to decode all 80 channel of Bluetooth in cheap hardware changes the BT security picture substantially
Customer: Why does it need to be on the internet?
Sales: So it can get security updates.
Customer: Why does it need security updates?
Sales: Because it's exposed on the internet.

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.
Time to close the 'puter down for the day. Sleep well all, when night reaches you 💤

"We are treating AI like an omniscient research partner when it is actually just an extremely fast librarian with a severe hallucination problem."
A lot of devs are obviously struggling with complex communication problems currently, so as someone with a modest linguistics background, I offer this helpful template:
"We do not allow LLM generated code in our project's codebase."
I give away all IP rights to the above sentence. It is free to use and reproduce.
(last year someone raged about it being embarrassing twee Britishness nonsense and yes, that’s kind of the point, I wanted to establish a ‘day’ and deliberately picked something extremely trivial & uncool. I would probably find it mildly annoying if I hadn’t invented it!)
