lowest

/ˈloʊ.ɪst/

The word "lowest" is the superlative form of "low." Use it when comparing three or more things to describe the one that is at the bottom, has the smallest value, or holds the least power. When used as an adjective, it describes a noun (e.g., "the lowest price"). When used as an adverb, it describes how an action happens (e.g., "it sank the lowest"). In social contexts, calling someone's status "lowest" can sometimes be perceived as insulting or overly harsh, so use it carefully when describing people.

David Smith

I'm trying to lean in on these costs. What's the lowest we can go on the server plan?

Brian

Cut it any lower and the whole system will tank. Just leave it.

💡

David uses the corporate buzzword 'lean in' incorrectly to mean reducing costs, while Brian uses the slang term 'tank' to describe a total system failure, highlighting their friction regarding budget versus stability.
