You snuck in "irregardless" and I claim my $5 reward.

(Maybe you also snuck in "hopefully": http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/hopeful... )

Think there are a few more - "feel badly", "momentarily"
Good eye. Only one more!
No second clause in the "whether"? That's "sneaking out", though.

Also, feh, descriptivists...

It's "snuck" rather than "sneaked." Considered incorrect by many for nearly 50 or so years.
Seriously? "Snuck" is incorrect? That's the first time I hear about this.
It's not though, that's the entire point. All usages except irregardless, which is well on its way, are considered correct, though not so in the past.

Also, snuck is the last accepted irregular verb, rather than pronoun.

Sneaked?
Yep
Please, I expect better than that from HN!
