    At the food court, I bought a turkey sandwich and another coffee. As I ate, an entourage caught my eye: four Buddhist monks, camped at the periphery of the food court seats, about thirty feet away. Shaved heads, maroon and pumpkin-colored robes. Each was smiling, even the one who slept. You'd think monks would be wearing sandals, wouldn't you? But these guys were wearing what I wear: Nike sneakers, Timberland boots. Two were horsing around with a Hacky Sack. Another was chatting quietly with a black woman in a Chicago Bulls sweatshirt.

词源

A trademark of Wham-O. First use appears c. 1977. It uses a reduplication of the word sack with the word hacky; a hack, in the game's terminology, is akin to a point, and happens when every player in a group successfully passes the footbag.
