OK, really esoteric question time:

So I went to the cinema with a female friend on the weekend. I was going to
buy some of the horrendously overpriced popcorn there, but then she said:

> 持ってきちゃった!

And she had already brought some in her bag. Apparently, ~ちゃった is quite girly
though. How could I say this in a more male (but still funny) way?

How to sound more manly when sneaking popcorn into the cinema
~ちゃった is not particularly "funny", just female-tinged and rather casual. Note
that men can occasionally use it...

The rest sounds more like a standard (and many time answered) [male vs female
speech question](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/97/what-
differences-should-i-look-out-for-between-male-vs-female-pronunciation).

～ちゃった is not funny and is not girly.

The difference is mainly how you say it. It can also depends on where you
live.

Lol... How about [持]{も}って[来]{き}ちまったぜ！ It should sound more manly at least. BTW
I'm in Kansai and I think guys here would say more like [持]{も}って[来]{き}てもうた(わ)!
Doesn't it sound sooo funny?
