==Use as a pejorative== In the US, the term "hack" is used as a pejorative description among writers, journalists, bloggers, and comedians. It is especially used for journalists that are perceived to take partisan sides. The term "hack" has been used by some UK [[journalist]]s as a form of humorous, self-deprecating self-description. The term was popularized in the UK by ''[[Private Eye]]'' magazine, which refers to male journalists as "hacks" and female journalists as "hackettes."
