Dziękuję bardzo, Moonia :-)
neutral legato : Z "a" w konteście jest to raczej zadziwienie niż stwierdzenie. Widziałabym tu coś w rodzaju "gee" lub "boy" przed skurczybykami w tłumaczeniu.

I takie znaczenie ma, między innymi, właśnie "for chrissake". Jest to tzw. "angry" oath, które, podobnie jak Goddamn!, Jeez!, Geez!, Gee whiz!, Holy Shit! For fuck's sake! For shit's sake! i inne służy do wyrażania złości, zdziwienia
agree Khrystene (X) : why not christ's sake? http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/for Christ's sake

"chrissake", pronounced with some sort of beer-slurred bravado ;-), is more colloquial, just like "boga-noga" ;-) Thanks, Khrystene!

you would use FOR CHRISSAKES not FOR CHRIST's SAKE because you don't want to offend the higher authority but you want to sound like you are speaking with His strength.
