What is a hacky, and why is it in a sack?
Footbag was invented in 1972 in Oregon City, Oregon, when John Stalberger met Mike Marshall, who had been kicking around a hand-made bean bag. John had recently had knee surgery and was looking for a way to work on his flexibility. He instantly took to the game and became good friends with Marshall. They called the game "Hack the Sack."
Stalberger and Marshall soon became enthralled with the game, which Marshall had been hoping to promote with the general public. The two designed a product, which they trademarked the "Hacky Sack", and began putting together a plan to market the product and the sport. At the same time, they decided to create a "generic" term for the sport itself, as opposed to their product, and they named the sport "footbag".

Why do they call them pepperoni if there is no pepper in it?
In English, pepperoni refers to a spicy Italian-American variety of dry salami made of pork. Pepperoni is a descendant of the spicy salamis of Italy, such as salsiccia Napoletana piccante, a spicy dry pork sausage from Naples. Pepperoni is frequently used as a pizza topping in American-style pizzerias. It is the most popular pizza topping in North America, present on at least 30% of all pizzas.
Pepperoni is a corruption of peperoni, the Italian plural of peperone, refering to the fruit of the capsicum. Ordering "peperoni" pizza in Italy is often an unwelcome surprise for North American tourists since throughout continental Europe, peperoni is the common word for the bell pepper. To order the American version of pepperoni in Italy, one would request salame piccante or spicy salami. Unlike in Europe, the English word is used as a singular uncountable noun.
