    Note

    A spelling change does the work here: the final -y of salty turns to -i- before -est, as in tidiest or earthiest. The form carries every meaning of its base, not just the taste of brine. It can rank coarse humor (the saltiest jokes) or seasoned sailors. In slang it can also mean the most irritated people in a room, such as the saltiest fans after a lost final.
