Contributor's comments: Children's abbreviation of the full word, hide and seek. I grew up in 1930s in Northmead NSW and we used 'hidings' or 'hidey'.

Contributor's comments: This was the term we usually used in Blair Athol in the forties for what I thought was officially called hide-and-seek. Someone was it, counted out loud to say, five hundred by tens, while covering her/his eyes, the rest of us went and hid behind bushes, buildings or whatever, the one who was it came looking, and called our name and where we were if they saw us, and we were cuaght. Someone could sneak up to the base and run through it undetected, much like in bedlam, and that released all those who had been caught. Or stay hidden, and eventually the seeker "gave up". Great triumph for the one/s who stayed hidden.
Contributor's comments: I grew up in the lower north of South Aust. We always played "hidey", but we occasionally referred to it as "Hide and seek", never "hide and go seek".
Contributor's comments: In WA during the 50's and 60's we definately played hidey not this hide and seek business.
