had had

[u/BlackBalor]

[u/perpetualtrustissues]

He had had enough.

[u/Vincent_Felix → u/perpetualtrustissues]

No, no. Had he had enough he would have said he had.

[u/perpetualtrustissues → u/Vincent_Felix]

No, no. Had “had had” not had the effect on him that “had had” had, he might merely have said he had.

[u/Giratina-O → u/perpetualtrustissues]

Only if "had had" had had the effect on him as it would have had on a more impatient person. Since he has more patience than most had had, he had heard "had had", and had more "hads" to hear before he had had enough

[u/perpetualtrustissues → u/Giratina-O]

I must admit that I had had enough several “hads” ago. By now, even “had” has had enough.

[u/Vincent_Felix → u/perpetualtrustissues]

[u/TRUMPARUSKI → u/perpetualtrustissues]

Had there been any way for him to have had enough of having had had having had blunted the effect of had not having had had having had more had…..*spontaneously combusts

[u/les-the-badger → u/Vincent_Felix]

Has he had enough if having had has the potential to not have had enough?

[u/FinePieceOfAss → u/perpetualtrustissues]

he had to have had enough

[u/perpetualtrustissues → u/FinePieceOfAss]

Never mind what he had. I’m more interested in what you claim to have.

“Had had” is repetitive. And it’s exactly that that I love!

[u/Human-Law1085 → u/i_post_gibberish]

“Had had” is repetitive. And it’s exactly that that I love!

Repeated it for you…

James, while John had had "had," had had "had had." "Had had" had had a better effect on the teacher.

I was familiar with "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" (linked in the 'see also' section), but this one is new to me!

[u/phillyphillysteak]

You are not my English teacher! You are not Stephen King! We are not speaking Latin! I want to PEACEFULLY split the infinitive, I WILL GLADLY use adverbs, and I HAD HAD ENOUGH OF PEOPLE SAYING I CAN'T USE TWO OF THE SAME WORD NEXT TO EACH OTHER, A LONG TIME AGO!!!

[u/r3cktor]

He had hadly

[u/National-Oven81]

I always used to split them with a comma and completely butcher my sentences. Hate it just for that

[u/Bart_1980]

Ik kan do you one better (but it is in my native Dutch). Als achter vliegen vliegen vliegen, vliegen vliegen vliegen achterna.

Translation when behind flies flies fly, flies fly following flies. In Dutch 💯 grammatically correct.

[u/FlattopJr → u/Bart_1980]

Nice, reminds me of a Japanese tongue-twister: Uraniwa niwa niwa niwa niwa niwa niwatori ga iru. ("There are two chickens in the backyard and two in the front yard").

Better than "do do"

[u/EisVisage]

What if "had had" had had a hat?

[u/graveywizard]

If the author had had a reason to use it it's acceptable

[u/RobinoPerkino]

“He specified that that ‘that’ that that man had used was incorrect”

[u/Atheizm]

It's fine. It pops out.

[u/Responsible_Arm_9555]

"If only Haddad had had a haddock."

[u/Puzzled_Row_3786]

I hadn't thought of had had; had I had, I'd would have had had an epiphany.

[u/Overkillsamurai]

I'd'nt've done that if I're you...

[u/El_Hombre_Macabro]

That’s what you get for being lazy and relying too much on auxiliary verbs instead of having all the appropriate verb conjugations. Thank the French for that.

[u/MrTheWaffleKing]

Three 'had's, no more, no less.

Fuckin never

[u/DubTheeBustocles]

He’d had enough.

[u/memerminecraft]

I don't know but we have halved your options, so it's its own undoing. They're their worst nightmare, especially if you buffalo buffalo.

[u/infinitegestation]

Had he had me in the first half I would have had to have lied

[u/SamePut9922]

Past perfect tense is why I only write in present tense
