It was like a street racing community or playing hooky so you could watch two kids have a fight. It's the friendliest kind of war.

Playing hooky "dont tell anyone", "rectal exam", "stupid boss", "HIV test", "control urges"

I ended up "playing hooky" from school for a month because I didn't want to tell my parents. Nowadays if I did this, I would end up with a slew of felonies.

A perfect reminder to play hooky, or call up a friend, or tick off a bucket list item every once in a while! Anyone interested in this?

Maybe you were playing hooky in grade 3 when the teacher explained that 101/100 is an improper fraction, which can be rewritten as 1 1/100: the whole number 1, combined with a proper fraction. See?"

If this was an independent phone shop they’d give it back and make an excuse or try and sell you another hooky handset. Apple gave me a brand new untouched 6s handset instead.

I used to make an extra effort to take a walk above ground during lunch just to get a few minutes in the sun, I'd play hooky and leave early so I can get a half hour in the sun at home. It was a strange experience.

I was playing hooky from school, in a flat in Kings Cross, with my then-girlfriend, after a very late night. I was alerted to what had happened around 10am, when I answered the phone on perhaps the 7th ring, figuring I was in trouble for sciving.

YouTube is optimized for the hook, and calming videos aren’t hooky. The much more salient videos tend to be the sensational ones, and people who don’t have the understanding of that fact are much more easily hooked.

I almost expect them to roll it into each job's billings, whereas previously they would either use a hooky copy or suffer the pain of juggling licenses and old software. There are a lot of small shops using hooky Adobe software.

Maybe you played hooky in Civics 101, or maybe not, but your understanding and analogy both require substantial correction. Fixing this: If the government were a software application, this is very much like a project led by three senior engineers for a system using a widely agreed upon Design that was flexible, but included boundaries.

It sounds to me like Gavin has already taken an easier, perhaps lower paying position that is not very demanding on his skills and so he is able to complete all of his assigned tasks in a short amount of time and then play hooky for the rest of the day. If he instead were to work the whole day it's likely he could complete 3 times as many tasks, do you think his employer would willingly pay him 3 times as much though?

These behaviors include but arent limited to shoplifting, marijuana use, playing hooky at school, drug dealing and assault.

And as a former teetotaler with relatively few mental problems who has spent the last six months playing hooky and getting drunk alone at home daily to help cope, with multiple straight friends doing the exact same thing, I'd be inclined to believe that statistic may even be a massive underestimate when you factor for people who don't have a clinical-grade problem yet.
