Yes, I had to come back and quote myself!
Here's another one I just heard.
BOUGHTEN
(
def.: past tense of bought; really did purchase.)
I was asking a student if she had an MP3 player and she was saying that she didn't, but a friend
boughten one and . . .
Well, needless to say, I was still trying to get through boughten, so I don't know what the friend did.
