FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!

For God's sake   (used for emphasis)   (Sometimes, though not always, pluralized to 'for God's sakes' in American usage) (also for goodness sake).  An exclamation showing surprise, impatience, or some other emotion:

       For God's sake, don't scare me like that!

       Put some pants on, for God's sake!

       For God's sake, Eleanor, what happened to your hair?

       It's time we started worrying about educating our children, for God's sake.

       At three-thirty in the morning, for God's sake, my dog decided to have her puppies.

Note: Some people might consider “For God's sake” as well as other expressions such as “Oh my God”, “Jesus!”, etc to be rude, irreverent or a blasphemy because "they break one of the Ten Commandments, the one that warns against using God's name in vain".
