pettiest
Least worth mentioning
Pettiest is the superlative of petty—the most trivial, small-minded, or meanly spiteful.
Someone acting in the pettiest way possible is maximally concerned with insignificant matters or grudges: That was the pettiest thing I've ever seen her do.
Often used admiringly in informal speech to acknowledge impressive levels of spite: She unfollowed his mom too—pettiest move of the year.
