Hookey is skipping something...like not going to school or not going to work, and then going to do something fun instead, like going to the movies.

Hookey is something that is NOT good, and should not be done or encouraged.

Re: What does that mean ?
I never played hookey from school without my mom's ok. What can I say I hated getting in trouble :) When I did go I had a lot of fun. We went to the mall a couple times (which was an hour away), went to a favorite resturant and then Wal-Mart (small town life is really boring sometimes :). Chuck is right though, hookey is bad.

I played hookey in the 12th grade and got 3 days in detention for it plus my dad threatening to walk me to my classes. Hookey is also called skipping or cutting class.
