That way the rich parents can still spoil their little shit but it wasn't Santa that brought them the ps5 pro and little Billy the knock off retro console

I'm just confused what it is specifically about the second to last gift

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

I think they meant “ultimate”

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I'll admit I don't get it either.

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 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

Neat

Penultimate means 2nd to last

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