If that’s it, all I have one word:

weak

weak, weak, weak Weak WEak WEAk WEAK!

Breathed, leave the puns to the masters, like Pestis. I still remember the first one I saw on PBS: [How dare you try to bribe me with amenities like anime, Annie Mae, my sea anenome enemy?](http://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2005/11/14)
