Jacob wroteIn the days of Vietnam and the world of combat missions in B-52s, my recollection is that the word hack was reserved exclusively to mean "release weapons."We never used it for setting watches.
Did the bomb aimer and the navigator ever have a casual conversation while flying over the continental US?
Two more meanings -
From the horse racing industry "The Apple and McDonalds Hack Handicap".
From CN "I am hacked off waiting for the sky to clear for a noon sight".
