		By the middle of the sixteenth century, hackney was being applied to people in just this sense, and was abbreviated about the start of the eighteenth century to hack, as in hack work; it was applied in particular to literary drudges who dashed off poor-quality writing to order—hence its modern pejorative application to journalists.
		Hackney horses were also widely available and commonly seen, to the extent that they became commonplace and unremarkable.

		A spokesman close to the team said, "We're not looking for excuses but quite frankly the ball was flat, the pitch was awful and the referee added on way too much time at the end, about 42.5 minutes by my reckoning".
