Is "hack" the new buzz or it word?

AngelPuppy1 · ‎03-13-2010

I keep seeing this word every where now! Hack this, hack that. The new beauty "hack", the new food "hack", the new decorating "hack", etc., etc., etc.

I never really heard this word used before except in a kind of derogatory tone, such as someone is a hack.

Now, it seems to be a slang word for something which is posiive and a kind of quick and easier way to achieve something. Is this correct?

Just wondering ......

What some of us think is stupid in this day and age is the same as the things our parents and grandparents thought were stupid when we were young!! Life is constantly changing mostly for the good regardless what we think of it!

I so agree.

Remember how our parents hated "groovy" and "far out"?

Each generation has it's own slang. One is no more stupid than the other.

I was just wondering. Some of the words from my generation --- groovy and all that --- oh, my. Pretty bad. LOL.

But, do you hear people using the word "hack" in real life? So far, I haven't. Just on t.v. and on the internet.

I've never heard hack used in that way. A beauty or food hack? No never. Edited to add, I have only heard "hack into a computer".

I don't mind the buzz words but I don't use them myself.i am trying to stick to the language I learned so that it can be passed down to future generations.

Good luck with that! I totally agree with you but it doesnt seem to be working. Cultural references are disappearing, too.
