How can you lift weights at the gym when the chick in front of you is doing lunges with 4" long tight shorts?

Rayray help!

I like the chicken neck. My dad always hogged the chicken neck (as well as the turkey neck).

That fokken guy.

The vast majority of people I have ever heard use variations of the expression, "You think you're better than me? You think you're better than me?"

----> most people are better than them.

Which is correct: snuck or sneaked?

Snuck is used in American and Canadian English as the past tense and past participle of sneak, but it is considered non-standard, i.e., ol for dialectal and informal speech and writing. The standard past tense is sneaked. Snuck is relatively new, an Americanism introduced in the late 19th century. The opposite has occurred to the past form of slink. Slunk was long the standard form, but then slinked appeared and is encroaching on slunk. Slinked is considered non-standard. Style guides at some of the biggest newspapers in Canada and the United States - including the Globe and Mail (1998) and the New York Times (1999) - ban snuck. But snuck may tiptoe into more formal writing over the years.

I would use snuck irregardless.

 

[bacon]

Snuck because I prefer to use proper grammar so as not to come across as a moron, at least for grammar related reasons.

 

[Matty]

Proper form is sneaked you baboon.

 

[bacon]

Yeah well it sounds stupid but you don't see me resorting to name calling, do you.

 

[Blitty]

Don't think I have ever said slink or slunk in my life.

 

[IAG]

I would use snuck irregardless.

I could care less, but I would use snuck also.

 

[reno cool]

isn't "could care less" something you're morally opposed to?

 

[bacon]

Could care less so you care. You meant couldn't care less the expression brought to us in the 50's from Britain.

IAG incurs 2 minutes in the sin bin for incorrect grammar.

On the way to the in-laws a couple weekends ago, I was in the rightmost lane on the 401 and it occurred to me that there were a whole lot of lanes to my left. I couldn't even see far enough to count them all.

That stretch of the 401 is 18 fucking lanes wide:
