English Words With Multiple Meanings

One of the English words with the most meanings or usage: Crack

Can be used as a verb, noun, even an adjective if you extend it to cracking or cracker.

-- euphemism for cocaine.
-- hole, e..g. butt crack, crack in the wall.
-- He is determined to crack the case.
-- prawn cracker, crunch crunch
-- the cracking process
-- What a cracking shot! A cracker of a goal!
-- Don't crack your head too hard to get the answer.
-- The plate fell on the floor with a crack.
-- his knees cracked as he bend down; crack your knuckles.

The more I keep saying crack, it seems to lose meaning...... crack, crack, crack, crack, crack.............

Any other English words with multiple usage?

Thanks for numbers 1, 4 and 5. More usage for crack like crack troops and crack under pressure.

2 and 3 arready covered under the sound category, e.g. when the plate cracks, usage is the same. Same for "crack is whack" where crack = cocaine.
