                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                            ^
                       kill buffer

Something like this:

(defun my-backward-delete-word (arg)
  "Delete backard ARG words.
ARG is the numeric prefix arg (default 1)."
  (interactive "p")
  (let ((opt  (point)))
    (backward-word arg)
    (delete-region opt (point))))

Bind it to some key.
