deadest
Least alive possible
Deadest is the superlative of dead, used for emphasis or humor since something is typically either dead or not.
That's the deadest plant I've ever seen.
The form appears most often in figurative contexts: the deadest silence, the deadest town, the deadest party—meaning the most lifeless, dull, or inactive.
