The cruelest word in the English language

As most everybody knows, there are many words in the English language that have more than one meaning. For example, bark. Bark can mean the outer covering on a tree or it can mean the noise a dog makes.

The other day a word came to mind that, when taking its different meanings into account, is the most cruel word in the English language, IMO. Can anybody think of what it is?

I don't know the cruelest word. But I do know the most versatile word. F*ck.

If can be a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition, conjunction, determiner, exclamation, etc.

That's true about f*ck, it can be used in almost any way in almost any context.

Can you guess the cruelest word?

Guess! I'll post the answer after enough guesses, or immediately if and when somebody guesses correctly.

Okay, it seems nobody wants to make a real guess, so I give up. I did this as an attempt to have some fun while asking a question that can't be can't be answered by looking it up on the internet. Anyway...the answer is INVALID.

One meaning of invalid is a disabled person, one who cannot care for themself.

Another definition is not valid, not real or not applicable.

So, taking the two definitions together, it says that a disabled person is not a real person. That's cruel.
