Who wrote this?? Nobody says “penultimate”!
Edit: yeah, sorry, this was just a line from a TV show. It was stupid.
I wrote this. I so rarely get to use the word “penultimate”; I wanted to. It was especially cool to be able to pair it to “ultimate” meaning “last” instead of (the more colloquial) “greatest”.
Penultimate isn’t that uncommon? Just because you don’t personally hear it in your day-to-day life doesn’t mean other people don’t use it.
