A hackney or hackney carriage (also called a cab, black cab, hack or London taxi) is a carriage or automobile for hire. A hackney of a more expensive or high class was called a remise.
In the United Kingdom, the name hackney carriage today refers to a taxicab licensed by the Public Carriage Office, local authority (non-metropolitan district councils, unitary authorities) or the Department of the Environment depending on region of the country.
In the United States, the police department of the city of Boston has a Hackney Carriage Unit, analogous to taxicab regulators in other cities, that issues Hackney Carriage medallions to its taxi operators.
The name 'hackney' was once thought to be an anglicized derivative of French haquenée—a horse of medium size recommended for lady riders; however, current opinion is that it is derived from the village name Hackney (now part of London). Despite the currency of this opinion, however, earlier sources dispute it. In 1908, a popular London newspaper stated, "The hackney coach—which is commonly supposed, though wrongly, to have taken its name from the district in the north of London—was started in the metropolis so long ago as 1025 by a certain Captain Bailey." The place-name, through its fame for its horses and horse-drawn carriages, is also the root of the Spanish word jaca, a term used for a small breed of horse and the Sardinian achetta horse. The first documented "hackney coach"—the forerunner of the more generic "hackney carriage"—operated in London in 1621.
Black is the darkest color, the result of the absence of or complete absorption of light. It is the opposite of white (the combined spectrum of color or light). It is an achromatic color, literally a color without color or hue. It is one of the four primary colors in the CMYK color model, along with cyan, yellow, and magenta, used in color printing to produce all the other colors.
Black was one of the first colors used by artists in neolithic cave paintings. In the 14th century, it began to be worn by royalty, the clergy, judges and government officials in much of Europe. It became the color worn by English romantic poets, businessmen and statesmen in the 19th century, and a high fashion color in the 20th century.
In the Roman Empire, it became the color of mourning, and over the centuries it was frequently associated with death, evil, witches and magic. According to surveys in Europe and North America, it is the color most commonly associated with mourning, the end, secrets, magic, force, violence, evil, and elegance.

Lies always seem to be the things that are accepted
They are the ones that never seem to get caught
But none of us should ever have to lie to make friends
But we'd rather lie than to sleep with the dogs
Love is what I'll fight it all with,
Love... I won't save it for another day,
Love... is what I'm gonna kick it in with...
Love... I don't want the arch to lose that way.
I had it all once, and I threw it all away.
Peace is the thing that everybody here is preaching
It's on the left side because it's everybody's love
But I've seen you spit on someone in the same breath as peace
When someone disagrees you always give it up
Love... Is what I fight it all with.
Love.... I won't save it for another day.
Love... is what I'm gonna kick it in with.
Love... I don't want the arch to lose that way.
It always seems just like a misplaced childhood, I think it does.
But I didn't misplace nothing.
