"So, here in Texas instead of saying "That stinks," we say, "That
stanks!" Stank can be a noun or a verb of any tense, i.e., "Even when he
left his stank stayed behind" or "Be glad you weren't there, 'cause it stank
somethin' awful" or "No, I'm not going in there 'cause it will stank to high
heaven." We even have the continuing tense as in, "He be stankin'.""

Cornish English has always had _staankin_ for standard English _stinking_
and the phrase "That stinks" would in Cornish English (West Cornwall) always
be "E's staankin, ee is".

Go raibh maith agat,

Since R/R, with regard to the unforgivable debasing of  the shitting and
spitting paradigm, stated:

> Don't blame *me* though!  I plead innocence in all of this.

And since it might go on and on forever with denials and
counter-allegations, like a Washington soap-opera, I'll fess up. I plead
guilty; I did it; blame me!

Though sometimes I do conjugate: shit-shat-shut ... particularly during
bouts of constipation. :-)
