Kaughack

Slang for a technical life hack or tip that would set your knowledge apart from others. A kaughack is often related to some sort of computer tip or fun fact that not everyone knows and could help one in daily life.

Some kaughacks appear to some people to have malicious intent, thus, there are two main categories of kaughacks; kaughacks and "illegal" kaughacks.

The word originates from swedish tech giant 'Inet' where an employee, Kaug, would usually share a bunch of kaughacks around the office. These kaughacks later picked up a broader audience and have now become the standard word for a technical life hack for a lot of people.

(translated)
Kaug: Hey did you know you can change any word on a website by inspecting element and edit html?
Petra: Wait really? You can? That's such a kaughack!
