Seemingly, "ack" is a universal word for "rats, if I'd only have brought my catchers mitt". This phrase was also uttered at a minor league field in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee a mere 3 weeks ago when a similar incident occured as my 15 year old and I watched a foul ball sail over our heads as well. We also missed the catch, but neither of us remained in our seats. Ack. I agree, a glove does wonders when sitting in a baseball stadium.

In the TCP protocol, the receiving computer sends an ACK (acknowledgment) to the sending computer. This is basically how a connection is established. 3. A sexual sound made by penguins when reaching orgasmic crescendo. I was going for the first definition. :) UrbanDictionary.com gives three definitions of “ack.”
