On the heels of Esquire's coronation of Jessica Biel as the "Sexiest Woman Alive" the conclusion has been reached that this hyperbolic construction (superlative adjective - i.e. "sexiest" plus noun i.e. "woman" is simply underused. Just think how many things that are the most something are simply being ignored.
We demand that proper nouns be immediately assigned to the following superlative adjective-qualified nouns.
Baddest Robot - Clumsiest Jockey - Fattest Comedian - Grumpiest Puppet - Harshest Dentist - Bumpiest Extraterrestrial - Filthiest Mime - Dullest Transient - Craziest Element - Scrawniest Politician - Shortest Physicist - Mightiest Autodidact - Nastiest Magician - Prickliest Monument - Scariest Pigeon - Saddest Hawaiian - Mushiest Diplomat - Roundest Particle - Surliest Possum - Gentlest Polyglot - Stingiest Ombudsman - Tannest Mayor - Eeriest Tenor - Quaintest Supermodel - Moistest Pundit - Palest Architect - Daintiest Iconoclast - Cruelest Blogger
On a related note, if anyone knows why Esquire refuses to take our calls, please notify Scrivener.
