Some think knacks are natural born magical or paranormal or supernatural powers...uncanny knack...such as psychic ability
Orson Scott Card's series of novels called The Alvin Maker Series is full of characters with this type of knack.
Also short for knacker or knackered. E.g. "Moggsie isn't playing this Sunday, he reckons he's knacked his ankle."
Offensive? I find it apropos.
I love this little Dilbert clip.
A certain group of professionals might find it offensive, though.
