If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

One of the in-laws got some automated text messages for a survey about a recent transaction that was made by someone else. They had mistakenly keyed in her phone number and hilarity ensued. She started arguing with the survey which was asking her to rate the interaction and telling it how the person who obviously sold an item fraudulently should be fired and arrested for theft/fraud.
The best part was how she posted screenshots of it online to show how the company was trying to scam her.

I cannot do mornings without my coffee. It'd be like breathing underwater.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Coffee. Uh - sorry - I was off in thought for a moment.

..Is the bottom of all your metallic Mac books. I cannot imagine holding it on my hands just for few mins without the insecure feeling of it slipping down. And it's really odd. Please don't think it's an exaggeration. I'm sure there would be a bunch of Apple fans sleeping with their books hugging it, which includes so many from my own team!. What I'm feeling is just true. The grip is 0 at the bottom, It's not for me. I'm getting back to my lovely-stuurdy-rubbehry thinkpad.  One of the best creations of mankind.

What's the difference between "slipperiest" and "most slipperiest"?
Tautology methinks.

Clive James opined in the Guardian recently that any post including the word 'methinks' should be consigned to outer darkness as it is alsmost certainly nonsense. I think you just proved him right.
For the record the major authorities on grammar (OED, for example) now pretty much agree that a double superlative (or a comparative superlative or a qualified unqualifiable such as 'very unique) is a meaningful concept adding a sufficiently distinct nuance to be free from the charge of tautology. Sorry if that's extremely impossible for you to get your head round.

I always had a problem with the inability to qualify absolutes - could never get the English teacher at school to agree that if there were only 2 of a thing, it was almost unique.

You are throwing around plenty of words, but this 'meaningful concept' is still meaningless without a hard example of where it is valid.
It is legitimate to say 'One of the slipperiest surfaces' or 'One of the most slippery surfaces'. They sit perfectly between 'The slipperiest surface' and 'A [very] slippery surface'. There is no nuance that it uniquely describes. It merely adds an extra syllable with no additional meaning.

Hyperbole is the most bestest way to emphasize a point.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Theoretically if you treat the "slipperiest" as a group rather than a single item, such as "the top ten slipperiest surfaces" then it is possible to have a grammatically correct "most slipperiest" - which would probably be the number one from the aforementioned top ten. Even then "most slippery" would be better English.
[edit] ...or perhaps I should say, "The mostest, bestest Englishest".
