Frankly unable to bear this word which now seems to mean – what? Tips? Tools? Methods? Processes? Solutions? As in Five Life Hacks or 50.000 Web Hacks. It has such horrible connotations – its very sound is violent. Brain hack, anyone? It’s, like, you know, smashing someone’s head open with a hatchet in order to get at the content (if any).

Life hacks drive me mad a phrase, one that’s used so much in the online world, although some of the tips are quite useful, most of the time it’s “clickbait”.

LOL, you’re right. It does sound kind of violent for what it is!
Right???? EVERYthing is a hack these days! And I thought I was the only one who had bloody images course into her mind with the use of the word, or, at minimum, the wretched sounds of a wet hacking cough. LOL!
