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

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.

Dude, your boyfriend was wrong.

snuck: past participle, past tense of sneak (Verb) Verb: Move or go in a furtive or stealthy manner. Convey (someone or something) in such a way: "someone snuck a camera inside". More info »Dictionary.com - Answers.com - Merriam-Webster - The Free Dictionary

I always made that mistake with snuck and sneaked.

Im not sure about snuck and sneaked but @3 hung is used as a past tense for objects and hanged is used as a past tense for people. So he hung the noose and hanged himself :-)

Actually, "snack" is totally wrong. "Sneaked" is the older term (if you will). "Snuck" however is also grammatically correct (and generally accepted in most cultures) however it is a newer term only showing up around the 19th century. "snuck" is more acceptable in Canada and the US, "sneaked" in the UK. Kinda like colour vs color.

It's nothing like colour vs color. That's just spelling. This is a matter of verb tenses.

Snuck is a real word. You're all idiots

Haha this is a grammar Nazis dream!!!!!
