HACKYPACK (V.) ‘hak-kee-pak   To pack with chaotic haste, flinging things into a suitcase, having left things too late and given too little thought to what to take on your trip.  Usage: Graham got up at 5 the morning of his 10 a.m. flight to South Africa, but by 7:45 a.m., still hadn’t brought his suitcase out of the closet. Frantically, he started hackypacking, slinging rumpled clothes into the case, wondering what he would need during his two-week trip.
