Corruptio optimi pessima: the corruption of the best is the worst.
I always get this wrong. I substitute other words and mangle the endings.
Corruptio: feminine nominative singular.
Optimi: masculine genitive singular.
Pessima: feminine nominative singular (to match "corruptio," of course!).
"Est" is understood.
