stick in
Add without care
To stick in is to insert or embed something, often with effort or force: She stuck the key in the lock.
Something that sticks in your mind or memory remains lodged there, hard to forget.
If something sticks in your craw or throat, it irritates or offends you persistently—you can't quite swallow it: His smug attitude really sticks in my craw.
