cracker

The use of the word "cracker" to refer to a group of people has it's earliest days in the hacker culture. Crackers originally referred to a group of people(mostly adolescent males) that called themselves hackers, but were really only good for phreaking and messing up computers. Essentially, people who were better at creating problems than fixing them. The members of hacker culture do this to distinguish themselves from their less skillful counterpart. In today's pop culture, cracker has become a racial slur for people of Caucasian descent.

That dude totally messed up his computer. What a cracker.

She's such a cracker with her Starbucks and her iPhone 5.
