Apparently everything is a hack, and anything can be hacked. Hack your life, hack weight loss, hack cooking. It's ridiculous; I'm glad I never really used the words hacker or hack, as they seem to have lost all semblance of meaning in the last year or so.

My thoughts exactly. I wish we would go back to the original meaning of the word hack, as in "cut with rough or heavy blows." At least it would make it funny.

"Cut your life with rough or heavy blows!"

"Cut off your extra weight with rough or heavy blows!"

"Cut off that chicken you're cooking with rough or heavy blows!"
