new mytho-ety-acronym

[Jonathan Lighter]

The reason for the enduring application of the word "hack" to prison guards (OK, OK< corrections officers) is not known, but it probably isn't for the reason accepted by "Dohmnuill" at UrbanDictionary.com last Dec. 30:

Hack . . .
As an acronymn for Horses Ass Carrying Keys. Prison slang referring to a prison guard.
Put your pig sticker away. The HACK is coming!
