True, these days "hacking" is just a noise word that has no meaning. Why then continue to use the stale, tired term?

For older people "hacking" may always carry the odor of something fishy. For young people the term is simply stale and means nothing. In either case, it's way past it's sell-by date.

There is nothing cool, fresh, or interesting about hacking, travel hacking, or any other weary variation of the word.
