I don't know, I shouldn't even be in here, a pedant I am not

Things like saying 'pin number' make me want to slice peoples heads open but I'm not very up with grammar and punctuation.

I wish I was and I would never knowingly do it wrong. I never use text speak either lol

Apparently it's a less offensive phrase than "for god's sake" and is linked to St.Peter. It's called a minced oath.

i'm not sure who St Peter was though Zippi.

a minced oath? lol

is he the one who guards the pearly gates

Yes minced, according to phrases.org.uk.
I'm not very clued up on saints. He quite possibly is the one guarding the pearly gates though.

Isn't St Peter one of the disciples?

It's the Peter who holds the keys to the gates of Heaven.
