In times of dire stress, the sleeves (if long) may be rolled up and the tie loosened about half an inch. It seldom helps.

Used of or to a hacker, this term is a really serious slur on the person's creative ability; it connotes a design style characterised by primitive technique, rule-boundedness, brute force and utter lack of imagination.
