"Most biggest"

I notice people apparently blind to this grammatical error. Not just 'most biggest' but other phrases which use a double absolute (not sure if that's the technical term for it). Like "most biggest", "most ugliest", "least smallest". Obviously, "most big" or "biggest" is correct, the second one being less awkward sounding.

How often do you notice people say this in conversation? I notice it often, sometimes even among the educated (but less so for sure). Definitely in everyday speech. It kind of gets to me.

I can't think of any time I've ever heard this... It gets to me too.

I've never heard 'most biggest' before either.

Where do you hear this? -- it sounds like something a young kid might say, or else like some cool slang.

(note: I don't hear it much around here, BTW)

most big" is correct? Since when?

as big, bigger, biggest - most biggest is redundant.

Maybe it's more of an Aussie thing...maybe less so 'most biggest', but like, 'most richest', 'most ugliest', 'most prettiest' i hear that quite a lot here.

Besides Australians, I'm pretty positive that "most biggest", "most tallest" and etc are made by non-native speakers of English.

I had a colleague who would say stuff like this. He had a doctorate (not in English, of course.) He was African-American/French/Native American.

He was extremely well-liked at work, and saying "more bigger" didn't keep him from finding work in his field.

<<He was extremely well-liked at work, and saying "more bigger" didn't keep him from finding work in his field. >>

But he knew it was incorrect, right? But he said it anyway.

I don't know if he knew it was incorrect or not. He wrote it on something official once and we talked about it. He would say things like "more better", but probably not "gooder" unless he was joking.

It may have been "more better" that he used, but that's the kind of progression he used very naturally. I don't know much about American dialects and what grammar is considered acceptable for members of an in-group.

I admit that I am still shocked by the sample Travis shared with us months or a year ago.

<<Not just 'most biggest' but other phrases which use a double absolute (not sure if that's the technical term for it)>>

Do you mean a "double superlative"?

It's for effect, when "biggest" just isn't big enough!

English has always utilized this type of feature. It's nothing new. It's very typical and characteristic of the English language.

Love it. Embrace it :)

In Spanish you can hear similar expressions: "más mayor", etc. To me they indicate poorly structured minds.
