Best doesn’t mean good, just that there was nothing better.

this is so confusing. best is superlative of good, so best has to be good.

"The best spot in hell"

"The best outcome given the circumstances"

"Make the best of a shitty situation"

"The best way to eat poop when you lose a bet is to add plenty of sugar"

The context is friendship

It’s it? Best is the best as long as there are no other bests. If something else is better than X, then X is no longer best.

Would you rather lose all your money or your eyes and hands? Which one is best?
