But instead I posted this post.

Why is a cab driver called "a hack"? Why is "hacking" used in regards to software, computers, and all kinds of other shit? Why is a dry cough called "hacking"? OK that last one is pretty obvious.

Before cars, Taxis were usually Hackneys.

There's my tuppence worth.
