Confidently incorrect

Today, my friend told me how she crept out last night to hook up with her boyfriend. At one point, she said she "snack" out, so I corrected her by saying it's "snuck". My boyfriend snorted, showed us in a dictionary that it's actually "sneaked" and called us "fucking idiots". FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Both are acceptable. "Snuck" is more common, in my experience. It's like "hung" and "hanged." Hung was actually added to the dictionary later, as many people thought "hanged" sounded awkward and improper.

I thought it was snuck too. Sneaked doesn't sound right to be, but I'm glad I know now xD

wrong. Snuck it correct, just type it into Google.

I'm pretty sure they both are valid.

Call your boyfriend a fnucker!

Love how your boyfriend felt the need to prove it with a dictionary. :)

Hi, English major here. Both 'sneaked' and 'snuck' are the acceptable past tense of 'sneak.' Tell your boyfriend nobody likes a grammar Nazi; especially an incorrect one.

Good job.

Maybe she meant she snacked out on her boyfriend! Lol.

I was shocked and appalled when I found out "Snuck" is apparently wrong. Saying "I sneaked out" just sounds so much worse :/

People still know what a dictionary is? Holy shit..

No it's snuck
