Very annoying if "tip" "trick" or "hint" would do, but I agree with koala that it's a useful word to denote "use of an object for something other than its intended purpose to achieve a surprising and unrelated goal".

Tip: use toothpaste on nettle stings to eliminate itching.

Trick: do up your duvet cover before you wash it so it doesn't get socks stuck in it.

Hint: a meal doesn't have to have a name to be nutritionally balanced and delicious.

Hack: when camping, crack a couple of cheap glow sticks into a rinsed out plastic milk bottle to create a nightlight with a convenient handle.

Hmm, I would class your hack as a tip MrsH.

Unless it was being Tweeted by two interns called Rollo and Hespesia, to big up the Alex James & Jamies Oliver Big Beats Summer Quince-ival Weekender.*

completely agree, I think pinterest has alot to answer for with alot of these 'hacks'

however I do love seeing the crazy things people create with ikea furniture. I particularly liked the cat litter box inside a cupboard Grin

hash tags I really don't get, theres someone on my facebook feed who literally adds about 20 hash tags on every status.. really pointless and annoying isnt that what twitter is for?? dont understand twitter at all
