Maybe you want smart-insert-last-word?

              Otherwise,  the  rightmost ``interesting'' word from the
previous com-
              mand is found and inserted.  The default definition of
``interesting''
              is that the word contains at least one alphabetic
character, slash, or
              backslash.  This definition may be overridden  by  use
of  the  match
              style.
