- I'm struggling to find another noun you can use in the same construction (deprecated template usage) for + (deprecated template usage) noun.

- "For laughs", "for shits", "for yucks" ? Possibly also, "for love", "for revenge"; "for a lark", "for a laugh"; "for the fun of it". DCDuring TALK 17:03, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
- "For the hell of it", "for high jinks". Pingku 17:56, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
- "for money", "for experience", "for kicks", "for respect" and "for a cheese and ham sandwich" all fit that construction --Rising Sun talk? contributions 18:27, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
