cut class
Play hooky intentionally
To cut class is to skip or miss a class you're supposed to attend, typically without permission or a valid excuse.
The phrase implies deliberate absence rather than unavoidable circumstances: We cut class and went to the beach.
Common among students, cutting class suggests minor rebellion or prioritizing something else over school obligations.
