There's an app for that. It's called Google. Just type, 'nicked' into the search bar and you would already have your answer. BTW, it's nicked.

Can the sarcasm. I just asked a simple question, I wanted a simple answer. If I could've used google, I would of. I didn't have the luxury to search google at the time because at the time, I was at work not only that, my mobil service is terrible, can barley even load up fb. I was on my way to work when I'd made this post.
So please, next time don't just assume someone is stupid or too lazey to use the internet.
Sorry Scarlett, next time we'll try to give a damn. Notwithstanding the fact that somehow you were on this site while asking, I looked it up. Nicked: as in scratched or took a chunk out-of, nicked as in cheated/stole; nicked as in drunk in some po-dunk in Canada ( sounds pretty obscure, and isn't everyone in some po-dunk in Canada? Sorry for the spelling. I did not look up Po-dunk). At your service, Ma'am...

I don't have to use google if I don't want to. If you don't like the fact that I took to asking a writing forum instead of doing a google search, that's your problem not mine. You do not have to be rude, I did nothing to you. I said nothing wrong. I did not deserve a rude and sarcastic comment. if you wanted to comment like that, you could have kept it to yourself. A simple "nicked" would have sufficed. This IS after all the GRAMMAR, PUNCTUATION FORUM. These questions are to be posted here, as I've seen done numerous times by other users.
If I wanted to go to google, I would have googled it.
Knicked for stolen, nicked for cut in a small way; or, nicked for stolen, nicked for cut in a small way if you are a colonial...
A man in possession of a wooden spoon must be in want of a pot to stir.
I have to agree that the tone of some of the comments here were out of line. I hope that the people responsible will be big enough to admit their wrong and apologise.

I usually agree with you, but this time I would have put it the other way around, possibly because knicked with a knife. Anyway, I want to Google, and I don't find a definitive answer there, well, I do, but I find both definitive answers there, depending which dictionary you choose. Take your choice.

I finally got 'A Family Business' recorded and loaded, all 37 mins of it, much longer than any I have done before.
