I’m not satisfied with that answer. It appears this word sneaked into the vocabulary of the masses through the back door.
But then why would it not be a real word? Define “real word”. :-P
Real words don’t have to rely on sneaky arguments and hearsay. They can march down the street in broad daylight unashamed.
I snuck down the street in broad daylight, unashamed!
wait…what?
I sneer at the need to sneak. I proclaim veracity!
But then what is the past tense of “leak”?
“I called the plumber when my faucet luck.”
Or “peak”?
“This year, the foliage puck late in New England.”
See! It’s a slippery slope. Once you allow one vulgar variation, it’s all downhill from there.
Also, that list of words could get NSFW really quickly.
It isn’t a proper word. It snuck into the language through the back door of “American English” and should be chased back out again.
If I wore my sneakers when stealthily walking through the neighborhood, do they become
‘snuckers’?
I know we spuck of this before, but I’m glad you brought it here so everyone could join in.
Freak! We’re nearing the end of these words that can be printed on here.
We had a great time feaking last night?
I think snuck is the passe plus-que-parfait conditionnel of sneak.
According to Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 11th. ed. “snuck – past and past part of sneak”
Well I know it isn’t “SNUCKED” ! ;>)
I’m holding out to hear what the OED says.

Lol..I’ll have another thread where I’ll be the king and will have another variation..)
Where do I go for my free mani-pedi?
On similar lines which is appropriate in your opinion – funner or more fun?
@imrainmaker It’s not a question of appropriateness – “funner” is not a word.
^^What do you think about this article
^We may have to fight about that.
Would that be fun?
Surely we can think of something funner.
English snucks…
It must be a hard language to learn.
I’ve definitely been snuck up on. I’ve snuck up on someone. I’ve snuck a beer. I’ve snuck a kiss.
Down South, there are lots if uses for “snuck.”
Late to this thread, but it is the funnest in a long while.
Will someone get @janbb some dessert? She has been fixated on parfait all week.
@zenvelo Perhaps you can after the walk?
While we are on the topic – there is a grocery chain called Schnuck’s link in the midwest.
I’ve always wondered about that distinctive name.
