foremost [fawr-mohst, -muh st, fohr-]
adjective, adverb
1. first in place, order, rank, etc.
Not a new word to me but I always thought it odd that the phrase "first and foremost" is often used. It just seems redundant...and I'm not the only one who thinks so: Common Redundancies (F-O). No, I'm not the only one. (see what I did there? did ya?)
I do know this blog isn't foremost in any category, not even for Cast Away Crossroads.
(but, like Avis, we're #2!. Some people think this blog is #2 -ahem-)
