Wait does penultimate not mean "best one" this is the first time I've heard this

[–] Xavienth@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You might be thinking preeminent. Penultimate means second to final (ultimate being final)

Fun fact, there's words all the way up to fifth to last! ultimate, penultimate, antepenultimate, preantepenultimate, propreantepenultimate

i learned it from the Series of Unfortunate Events books, the 12th one is called "The Penultimate Peril" and the 13th is "The End"
