Urgh. He didn't 'hack his reality' any more than he knitted, cooked or birthed it.

Stop misappropriating words because they sound cool, there are whole dictionaries jam packed full of superb words, and its a lazy shame to lean on tedious zeitgeisty phrases.

Seriously, though, his use of the word hack was obviously intended to disarm the GGP's implied argument. It made me chuckle, and I think was a good word choice despite it's "tedious zeitgeistiness".

I know you are, but what am I?
Whoever smelt it dealt it.
Why all this negativity ?
