most/least metal words

A Data Scientist Discovered the Most Metal Word in the English Language


The most metal word of all is burn, followed bycries, veins, eternity, and breathe. The least metal word is particularly,followed by indicated, secretary, committee, and university. What you can infer from this is that the metal English is spoken from a timeless, elemental, and darkly ethereal space, while standard English is unremarkably deskbound. Perhaps this is why we hunger for metal in the first place.
