worst ever

Historically most terrible

Worst ever is an emphatic way of declaring something the most terrible of its kind across all time: That was the worst movie ever, my worst hangover ever.

The phrase often carries hyperbole—speakers rarely mean they've surveyed every instance in history.

It functions as a unit modifying nouns: the worst-ever economic collapse.
