Sorry I got this honest question 'cause I'm not a native English 
speaker and what is worse: I don't live in an English speaking country 
what means that some colloquialisms are well over my head. I do not 
intend to nitpick.

I found "less worse" somewhat funny. Is that part of modern English?
I learned "not as bad as" but English changed so much since then and 
"not as bad as" does not seem to convey the same shade of meaning as 
"less worse".

I found this article:

Is that special biz speak of Hong Kong? T'isnt Scots innit?
