The word 'hacky' comes from the latin word meaning 'HOLY', and the word 'sack' is from the greek word meaning 'CRAP' - together you get 'HOLY CRAP'.
The game of hacky sack originated in India where peasant children would form a circle and kick around dried cow dung - hence, the term holy crap.

Hacky Sack is actually a trademark and is not indicative of the contents of the little ball. The ball contains small pellets, much like the ones you would find in a Beanie Baby.
The inventors, John Stalberger and Mike Marshall, got the idea from kicking around a handmade beanbag as therapy for a knee injury. The name originates from the game the inventors played kicking the beanbag back and forth without letting hit the ground. They called it Hack the Sack which evolved to them calling the little ball a Hacky Sack. They trademarked the name and later sold it Wham-O who still sells Hacky Sacks.

I think your talking about a hacky sack ball! It's a very small ball about 2" across. Usually made of leather or soft material. They kick it to each other, I'm not real sure of the rules except it can't touch the ground. There's usually a group of three or four people standing in a small circle kicking this little ball or sack to each other.
