Spotted in #Xmen c1966: #Ogre saying "sneaked off" rather than "snuck off". The increased use of the latter is apparently a very recent development in #American #literautre (https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=sneaked+off%2Csnuck+off&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-US-2019&smoothing=3).
