Penultimate means "second to last"

Or "next to last."  Just wanted to clarify that.  I've been seeing that word used as if penultimate is a way to describe something that is even MORE ultimate (which itself means "last"), or the absolute best.  It's really funny when you think about it being used in that way.

  1. Yea for Greg! I like it when people know what words mean. In the UK, they use the word "chronic" to mean "bad" or "even worse" which drove me crazy.
