F*** in church - sit in pew

[_ft_1]

Hello friend, I'm a Vienna user and I read the above mentioned phrase. My question is if "sit in pew" has any hint of being an idiom, common or in slang. That the saying is a pun, I have checked. Or am I wrong?
Thx in advance, :n00b:

"Sit in pew" is not grammatical.
"Sit in a/the/this/that/any pew" is.

I am unaware of any idiom or how it could be a pun.

It sounds like some kind of made-up phrase or aphorism. Somebody would have to be audacious indeed to have conjugal relations in a church, then sit in a pew (i.e. attend services) like nothing happened.

It means nothing to me either.

Take a pew is a rather dated way of asking someone to sit down in British English. That is the closest I can get.

I think the joke " A man who farts in church sits in his own pew" may be what F*** refers to rather than conjugal rights as many including myself first thought.

It is a pun on the fact that pew the bench someone sits on in church sounds similar to the word phew an exclamation sometimes used in disgust, particularly at a smell.

First, I want to thank all contributors. It was a meme: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/372954412866119466/

Two days later I saw daylight. Primarily, I think it´s an oafishness, whereupon at second glance there was a certain pensiveness in it, still. This is something along the lines of Mrfatso :up: and in this spirit I would say the pun even could be applied to a person who, in large part living as single and showing a certain moralization, does not have sense of community.
Posting my question I should have used "F..t" instead of "F...". I´m sorry for that, @Skrej! Moreover, as I see now, it is no harm to write the full word.
Last but not least I want to express esteeming acknowledgement to emsr2d2. The contribution is an important feedback to me realising the level of my command of English :shock:. So, after a reprieve, if anyone had the time and muse to visit my blog http://www.radiebuk.at/wordpress/?cat=4
and to correct the one or other English-written part, I would feel like the king of a pretty fairy tale:-D.

It's slang rather than anything particularly rude, so writing it in full is OK IMO. If you wanted to censor it, f*rt might work better to avoid any confusion and make the intended word clearer. The problem here was that the first posters were thinking of a completely different word, which was hard to make sense of. :up:
