hacked off
<jargon> (Analogous to "pissed off") Said of system administrators who
have become annoyed, upset, or touchy owing to suspicions that their sites have
been or are going to be victimised by crackers, or used for inappropriate,
technically illegal, or even overtly criminal activities. For example, having
unreadable files in your home directory called "worm", "lockpick", or "goroot"
would probably be an effective (as well as impressively obvious and stupid) way
to get your sysadmin hacked off at you.
