Sacramento has the Power Balance Arena and so far they are keeping the name, even after the hoohaa of fakery.

There is no failing hard. If someone ever said to me, "Do you know anyone that has boughten something?" I would mock them soundly, because it's not a real word.


thefreedictionary.com may argue that it is a dialect word, but dialect words do not often find their way into M-W or OED.


Therefore, no, no failing. It's not a word.


Edit - and when they do, in checking M-W.com, they're listed as dialect words, only used in local circumstances.

So because I grew up with the word in my local circumstances, you still fail hard at your ignorant correction. lulz.

I bet that 50+% of people near you would not say boughten because it would make them sound unbelievably stupid. Still no failing. It is not a real word.


Additionally, any school that teaches children it is a real word, is doing them a disservice, because once they hit the real world they will be thought of as stupid.

U mad bro?

Go back to raging at internet spelling. It's how you feed your family and is serious business. Eh brah? (There there, it'll be ok.)

You need a target that gives a damn to bring home the bacon.
