I hate the term “life hacks.” Or, really, it’s the term “hacks” paired with any other word that gets under my skin. I agree with you, Marcos. Why not just say helpful hints? Or, Try this to remove a stain from your carpet? Because everything has to be tricked-up an extra notch or two, like Nigel Tufnel’s amplifier, in the 1980s mockumentary This is Spinal Tap, which could be turned up to 11. Because 10 just wasn’t enough when he needed that extra “oomph” over the cliff.
