What is the origin of the phrase 'play hooky'?
The phrase "play hooky" meant to 'not go to school'. The origin seems to be with the Amish in Iowa -- at least that is where I learned it. Amish go to school only until 6th grade. They also use hooks and eyes for their clothing, rather than buttons. So the Amish were always referred to as "hookies" by others 'the English' as we were called. So to be like the Amish and not go to school was to play (like a) hookie.
