dernierdernière

dernierdernière is a term of French origin that translates literally to "last last" in English. It is most commonly used to express a finality or an ultimate conclusion to something, often with a sense of weariness or exasperation. The repetition of "dernier" emphasizes the sense that no further instances or attempts will follow.

The phrase can be employed in various contexts, such as when referring to a final decision that cannot be appealed, or the last possible opportunity to do something. It can also be used colloquially to describe the ultimate point of annoyance or frustration, suggesting that a situation has reached its breaking point. For example, someone might say "C'est le dernierdernière" when they are completely fed up with a persistent problem. The usage implies that this is the absolute end of tolerance or patience. The dual use of the word "dernier" intensifies the meaning, leaving no room for ambiguity about the conclusive nature of the statement. It carries a certain dramatic weight due to its redundant structure.
