"If/When worst comes to worst."  Worst is worst; it has already come to worst.  Worse comes to worst.

Man, you and your dime-store nihilism. I'm not even concerned about the retconism of either phrase; i'm concerned strictly with the fact that "worst comes to worst" sounds stupid, and "worse comes to worst" makes some sort of sense.

"Language only makes sense through usage" is very true only in the most superficial sense.

But, yeah, "fuck you" doesn't make any grammatical sense, either.
