Fish: They're older than the 70s, and the movie. - Teachers Discussion
I pokied around when the line was reconnected and found this....
hanky-panky (hăng'kē-păng'kē)
n. Slang.
Devious or mischievous activity.
Illicit sexual activity.
[Alteration of hokey-pokey, alteration of HOCUS-POCUS.]
So hanky-panky came from hokey-pokey which came from hocus-pocus which I found at another website is probably Latin from a Mass.
That was fun.
