         I have an Excellent sense of humor, I just have a poor delivery. Plus, I love those bad puns (Groans). The looks on people's faces when they hear it or read it.
That set me off on a quest to see how far you can go. So far I've found:

second from last: penultimate
third from last: antepenultimate
fourth from last: preantepenultimate
fifth from last: propreantepenultimate
sixth from last: suprapropreantepenultimate
seventh from last: ultrasuprapropreantepenultimate

As they might have said in Monty Python: "Stop that! It's silly!"

Good to know, that must be why my brain bounces from this to that back to this again!
That explains a lot...lol
