hacked up: adj. Sufficiently patched, kluged, and tweaked that
the surgical scars are beginning to crowd out normal tissue (compare
critical mass). Not all programs that are hacked become `hacked
up'; if modifications are done with some eye to coherence and
continued maintainability, the software may emerge better for the
experience. Contrast hack up.
