David Weinberger, in his Journal of the Hyperlinked Organization, has
coined a couple of interesting "jack" phrases.

First, there's "frame-jacking", which happens when "someone radically
misunderstands context"; the term is casually mentioned in the 25 Nov. 1998
edition, and expounded upon in the 15 Dec. 1998 edition.

More recently (30 Sept. 1999) there's "time jacking", "when somebody or
some system takes control of your time, and just won't let go."
