Personally, I have never seen the word CRACK used as a noun before, but I have on more than a few occasions seen a CRACKING game of FOOTBALL
There is a small possibility that the reason for my recent illness is that I am ON CRACK or am ABOUT TO CRACK, or maybe I just like to make WISE CRACKS

The noun 'crack' has not just
one but
at least two different meanings in the English language (thereby making it a homonym

).
1.
Crack: Heroin, which is not injected into the bloodstream - but inhaled (smoked using a pipe)
2.
Crack: A tiny application (that you can download for free from the Internet), which unlocks the full features of various shareware software (which you normally have to pay for)
