  hex
       
          1. hexadecimal.
       
          2. A 6-pack of anything (compare quad).  Neither usage has
          anything to do with magic or black art, though the pun is
          appreciated and occasionally used by hackers.  True story: As
          a joke, some hackers once offered some surplus ICs for sale to
          be worn as protective amulets against hostile magic.  The
          chips were, of course, hex inverters.
       
          3.  The hash character, used to introduce
          hexadecimal constants in some assembly languages.
