An urban legend. A myth. It doesn't exist. Some say it is a mysterious derivative of the word "across", but they would be mistaken. Or the "past tense" of across. However, that claim is ludicrous because across is a preposition. And prepositions don't have "past tenses." For those of you who don't pay attention is English class (all of us!) prepositions have "past participles." People that claim acrost is a word are just like the ones who claim to have seen UFO's or bigfoot. Although bigfoot has those Patterson films. Hmmm...convincing. But these people have no proof that this word exists. And besides they sound retarded when they say it.
> a. I went "acrost" the dirt road to get some cigs at the tobacco store in my redneck town. Then I saw bigfoot!!
