Particular to this project 'hack' in CSS generally refers to literally adding hacks in to force something to work, it's not a synonym for tinkering. If the whole project is chock-full of `! important` statements and specific `-moz/-webkit/-ie` prefixes to selectively cover specific bugs, then maybe it would be well-named (if horrific). I get why it's called 'hack', but given that in the context of CSS, 'hack' is almost always perjorative – referring to awful, unclean things you do to bend CSS styling to your will – it's not a very good name.
It's a name which is confusing and difficult to search - almost as bad as calling the (Haskell) build tool 'stack', but with added negative connotations.
Sounds like a messy stuff hacked together in an hour :) Definitely funny and catchy though.
Because there is a programming language (PHP dialect) called that.
But this isn't a programming language.
Should Apple have not called their notebook MacBook Air because of Adobe AIR?

It's in field that's close enough. What will you say after, "I wrote my website in Hack and Hack"?
I would instead say 'I wrote my website in Hack, and used Hack CSS (not related)'
