English term or phrase: thank fucking God
"Maybe when Max told him that I didn’t offer any form of touching, he would find another girl. And if he does, thank fucking God!"

Creio que esta expressão reflete uma grande diferença intercultural. Penso que, no mundo da língua portuguesa não é costume se referir a Deus de uma forma profana, como a que se coloca. O que sugerem os colegas neste caso? Ignorar o termo vulgar e traduzir apenas como "thank God" ou usar alguma expressão mais neutra?

Explanation:
Você tem razão não existe como traduzir de forma profana, mas precisa existir ênfase, por razão do (fucking), que é um adjetivo relevante. então precisa ser uma expressão que envolve a frase literal + adjetivo de ênfase = Agradeço muito/imensamente a Deus.

Explanation:
Não tem nada de religioso na exclamação, ela simplesmente se mostra aliviada pelo fato do distinto ir amolar outra.
