A winnar is you.

I must agree with indubitably. Deicide is a fun one, as well. I know there are some other ones that are awesome, but I forget them...

I dislike frack and fracking. Pressurized water used to break up rock containing desirable material.
 
The idea and the word are ugly to me.

Worst word is 'cracking'.
