comment How to phrase a sentence with reference to “Least Superlative”?
The issue I had with that was that they are all my younger sister; all of them are younger than I am. there is a certain order to it, where you can say how much younger they are and where that places them in the 'hierarchy' (if you excuse the inelegant phrase). But yes, it really does require more detail.

Is it not clear in the question the ages would go: Mine, Carly, Alice, Becky? That would make Carly the penultimate eldest, and the eldest sister.

I've always inferred that youngest sister to mean the sibling who is youngest and my sister, with the connotation that the sister is younger than I am. Second youngest seems to work fine though.

comment Alternative term to “Blacklist” and “Whitelist”
I think if I were to use an antonym for Safelist it would be blocklist, as per @MetaEd suggested
