I just looked up the word Jooping - on Google. I wish I hadn't. It now means something entirely different in a horrible sexual way. I apologise for the modern misappropriation of an innocent childhood word. In our North of Scotland dialect, jooping or juping meant playing truant. Somewhere along the line the word has now acquired a new cultural meaning to others. When I was a kid you jooped School. I cannot believe there is another word using the term, but I'm afraid there is! No offence intended.
