worse comes to worst

When something has gotten as worst as it can get. It can get bad to worse and worse to worst, but it can't get worse than worst.

The usage of "if the worST comes to the worST" has been common, but not logical, because you can't get worse than worst. On the other hand, "if the worst comes to the worst" has also been attributed not to the deterioration of the condition, but the general idea that "if the worst really comes to exist." In such cases, it makes sense in its own way.

"Worse to worse" on the other hand, is usually just a mistake.
If worse comes to worst, then worst does not come to worse.

The Worst Trick Ever

Her telling you she's pregnant and letting you believe it while telling all her friends that she's kidding. You don't find out until after everyone else has had a cheap laugh.

the worst feeling

Dropping your ice cream on the very same day your lover broke it off and simultaneously spread rumors about how you failed your English/math/science test. Your friends now reject you because you made the mistake of ignoring them during your relationship. Also, the empty hopelessness that you will never be good enough, or maybe just the emptiness all together. And the pain of longing, maybe for some one or for somewhere, the pain of not belonging, and the pain of being let down by someone you thought had cared. The grief of loosing, the regret of never doing, the status of a world that is falling to pieces in ways where it cannot be helped. Anger towards anything, anger from someone to you, guilt. the way someone else might make you feel small, because society is dumb and standards are high. And finally, inevitable death of you, and the time after because one day you wont be remembered, or loved.
