"HACKSOR"?  That's the device that plumbers use to cut metal pipes with.
;-)  [Correct spelling is "hacksaw".]

NOTE:  Although you translated it out to the word you mentioned above, they
actually call people like that "HAXXORS" or some "l33t" (cough) combination
thereof.

I know, I hate the my bad crap.  I think the ebonics went too far and
influenced too many white kids.  But this is one that bugs me.  The 'l33t'
speak crap.  The using numbers to work for letters but then they forget • what
it means and go too far.  For example.  The work HACK.  If a guy in a
computer game has multiple hacks, he has HAX.  If he one who uses hacks, • he
is a HAXOR?  That translates out to HACKSOR?  WTF is a HACKSOR?  That just
makes no sense.  That's my big peeve.
