A grammatical question

Worst of the worse is the very bottom. The last thing you would want. A devil in the midst of demons. The king of bad.

Best of the worse is like the saying lesser of two evils. You hate both chicken and beef but you can at least tolerate chicken so if forced to eat one you would eat the best of the worst, the chicken.

With these two definitions I would say being the worst of the worst is... well worse.

Some people could argue that the best of the worst could mean being the best at being bad. In order to be in that form it would need context clues and cannot be left alone as it is here.

Also if your signature makes my scrolling mess up "you're tacky and I hate you."
