Is "Snuck" a real word?

[satindesire]

Apparently, my firefox spell check has decided it is not.

What is the past tense of "Sneak" then?

 

[BlackShanglan]

In theory, it's "sneaked" - but damnit, I like "snuck"!

"I sneaked around the back..."

"I snuck around the back..."

Snuck SOUNDS better!!! "Sneaked" is just...awkward.

 

[Peregrinator]

Sneaked is odd-sounding, and snuck sounds like a snack food marketed to five year olds. Mom, where's my snuck?

What do you use, then?

 

[Bert Notorius]

I'm gonna snuck you hard.

 

[coastal-boy]

I'd snuck satin in a heatbeat...twice if she'd let me

 

[rosco rathbone]

"Reconnoiter in detection-avoidance mode"

 

[satindesire]

I'm gonna snuck you hard.

OoooOoo! Sneak me baby, with your big juicy snucker!

The alarm system gets a little raw after a bit, mind a sneak-job instead?

"Reconnoiter in detection-avoidance mode"

It gets me all hot when you spout military jargon like that.

My father once accidentally combined "snuck" with "lurked" and came up with the image of someone "slurking around" the darkened areas of the house. We all liked the word so much that it's been in family use ever since.

SNUCK


SNEAKED


In American English “snuck” has become increasingly common as the past tense of “sneak.” This is one of many cases in which people’s humorously self-conscious use of dialect has influenced others to adopt it as standard and it is now often seen even in sophisticated writing in the US But it is safer to use the traditional form: “sneaked.”

CP special.

 

[tactful]

Sneaked and/or snuck are both, okay,
just don't get caught do it,
you might be tied speadeagled,
and be lashed, tickled or even,
well, I'm sure you get the picture.

 

[philosophygirl]

don't mind me, I'm slurking.

 

[Peregrinator]

What do you use, then?

I think I mostly use snuck, except in professional/formal writing situations.

Similarly, my ex-wife and I came up with "snowl" to describe what cats do. Snarling, sniffing, and prowling. New places need to be snowled...there's a lot of snowlage to take care of here...etc.

don't mind me, I'm slurking.

Snuck off.

Slurking, is even more serious,
than sneaked and snuck,
you don't want know what could happen.

 

[Recidiva]

Slurking is awesome.

Snuck and sneaked are both okay according to my spell checker.

Why not "sneakened"?

 

[philosophygirl]

Snuck off.

Only if you do it with me

A girl can hope.

I think so to. It sounds just rotten
