Hack The usual meaning of hack is to cut or chop at something without care. You can also hack something when you can deal with it. Someone who can’t hack it in the Army usually drops out. With the dawn of computers, the term is most widely used now to talk about circumventing, modifying or breaking something like a computer or other machine for your own purposes. I hacked my toaster and turned it into a time machine! Some computer hackers have the ability to break into networks and steal personal information. Hottie A hottie is usually an attractive young woman or man. You can describe someone as hot if you find them physically attractive. I hope I can get the phone number from that hottie over there. Hater A hater is someone who is usually jealous of the success of others. To say spiteful or mean things to someone, or about someone, who is successful is to hate, or hate on, someone. Don’t be a hater! Some people started hating on my friend when she got a record deal. Happy Camper A happy camper is someone who’s in a good mood. Someone relaxing around a warm fire at a campground is usually a happy camper. My son was NOT a happy camper when I missed his birthday party. Hardcore Hardcore means extremely difficult.

A hard case has usually had a difficult life and may have even spent time in prison. That guy’s a real hard case. He’s been picked on his whole life and now he wants revenge.
