There can only be one worst option so how can there be a 'least worst option'?

Because people can't write in English and pretend to spreak it.
"There can only be one worst option but there is also the least worse option.
There may be many options in between the worst and the least worse

Are there any other options , from a born native English speaker.
I like to think I am rather good at the written and spoken word.
Maybe they mean options like the difference between sh!t and crap.😉

I was actually asking "There can only be one worst option so how can there be a 'least worst option'?" That's what I heard somebody say on the radio today.

a better phrase would maybe be "least bad option"

There is one thing I always have trouble getting my head around. That is what side drive a car is? Is a left hand drive describing a car that is designed to drive on the left hand side of the road or is it a car that has the steering wheel / drivers position on the left of the car?
I always get confused by that. So are we a left hand driving nation or a right hand driving nation?
Seriously I never used to have an issue with this until i started thinking about the words and how they apply to the issue. Is it the position in the car of the driver or the position of the car on the road. Which would be the more important concept obviously would apply but which is it as i see both as valid ways of describing it. So that gets me thinking which one is it?? Daft h'uh?!!!!

It's based on the side of the road you drive on, so UK is left hand drive. In relation to the car, a left hand drive car is designed and set-up to drive on the left, so the driver controls are on the right. Otherwise the driver would be on the dissadvantaged side in terms of visibility. The other confusing thing are the terms "near side" and "off side" which confuse me still. The near-side is on the left i.e. near to the left-most side of the road. The drivers side is the off-side

Nope, it’s the side the steering wheel and driver controls is on. We are RHD in the UK.
