Wow... I didn't even know there was a word for next-to-last until you mentioned it, George. That will be my "word for the day".

Brian,

But I warn you of this fact:

It is a word that once you learn it you wait, sometimes for years, to use!

Many years ago I was working in the lending division of a major insurance company. We were going over documentation with one of our attorneys who was so proud of how she had created a long, detailed description to define the "next-to-last" payment the borrower would make.

A senior colleague of mine, a gruff old USMC-type, looked her square in the eye and asked: "Why didn't you just say "penultimate payment?".

Now, finally, I have been able to use "penultimate" in context. Heck, I've been waiting years to do this! 😀

Didn't Michelangelo paint the penultimate supper for the pope in a Monty Python scetch? I believe it had twenty two desciples, a kangaroo and three Christs (he thought the fat one in the middle balanced out the two skinny ones on the side).
