Penultimate
Posted By azog on February 23, 2012
Repeat after me: penultimate simply means the next to the last. It is not an intensifier equivalent to “awesome”. It is a fun word, but so is blunderbuss, and one wouldn’t say “that was one blunderbuss of a game”. I know words change, but this kind of change has to stop. I guess I’m being obese over it because it is irksome.

Whoa! Penultimate post, dude! I’ve never seen you so obese! :-)
Yea, I was feeling a little granulated after reading some inane comments on youtube, but that’s my own fault for doing so…
