I dunno. After this, I'm a bit leery about anything to do with teeth and me.

Is "Snuck" a real word?
Apparently, my firefox spell check has decided it is not.

What is the past tense of "Sneak" then?

According to the online Merriam-Webster dictionary:

past and past participle of sneak

Sometimes colloquial language gets snuck in and accepted 'afore you know it.

Sneaked is correct, but I read a guy for years who wrote on good writing - shit, can't remember his name.
His point was that if the sentence is better using, for example, "snuck" rather than "sneaked", use it.

Microsoft word didn't give me the red squiggly line when I typed in "Snuck". So firefox doesn't like "snuck", but Microsoft word says it's okay.

I snuck my hand into my sleeping sister's panties and found a nice warm wet pussy, my first one and it was nice. I then snuck a taste of the wettness and then snuck out of her room

 

[001_cool]

No, but I love that cute little word.

Snuck is a modernish example of the ancient "strong" verb form: drink, drank, drunk...sing, sang, sung...so even if not technically correct, it's from noble stock.

 

[John Doe]

Depends on what you mean by "real".

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

You can snuck Satin twice in a heartbeat? Wow! On the minus side: dude, you have no endurance. On the plus side: man, you recharge quickly!

A little usage note that, I think, sums it up very neatly.

Usage Note: Snuck is an Americanism first introduced in the 19th century as a nonstandard regional variant of sneaked. Widespread use of snuck has become more common with every generation. It is now used by educated speakers in all regions. Formal written English is more conservative than other varieties, of course, and here snuck still meets with much resistance. Many writers and editors have a lingering unease about the form, particularly if they recall its nonstandard origins. And 67 percent of the Usage Panel disapproved of snuck in our 1988 survey. Nevertheless, an examination of recent sources shows that snuck is sneaking up on sneaked. Snuck was almost 20 percent more common in newspaper articles published in 1995 than it was in 1985. Snuck also appears in the work of many respected columnists and authors: "He ran up huge hotel bills and then snuck out without paying" (George Stade). "He had snuck away from camp with a cabinmate" (Anne Tyler). "I ducked down behind the paperbacks and snuck out" (Garrison Keillor).

If you are writing, used sneaked, unless it is dialogue. Then either can be used depending on the speech pattern of the speaker.
