LimeMaster Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) It's a real word. Just translate any wild or pet snake, they'll tell you how it is: Quote The snake hissed: "Nick can make a straightsss line out of us snakesssss" +E.Worm Jimmy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight and strait are words, but straights is not a word. Dictionary.com does not recognize straights as a plural of straight, I do not even see it in the urban dictionary. nevermind, the examples are from web, not books...

I was going to post something exactly like this, but didn't know how to word it so it didn't sound like I was bashing peoples sexuality. Glad you got there before me and was able to word it well!
