"Bestest"

Where did "bestest" come from? Who invented this word? Is it a trend? and why are many people using it? My friend Edwyn told me "bestest" came from philipino english who they used it as a slang. But, I'm seeing more peeps are using it online.

My sister left me a comment yesterday. She said, "Your bestest sister." I thought she's my best sister. How can she be my "bestest" sister. I gave her my best. But, I guess it's not enough. She has to be "the bestest sister."

If more and more people are using "bestest", can it be embedded in dictionary? It's just like the word "bling bling." It's defined in Oxford dictionary now.

  • Mikey - Please! i don't use that word "bestest". Its an ebonics phrase. Probably popularized by hip-hop artists to emphasize that there is something better than best - "bestest". Though i wouldn't use the word around those grammar junkies as they would cringe.
