/Sounds like "EER" (as in "eagle") + "seh" (as in "set") + "DEH" (as in "debt") + "PEEN" (as in "pea") + "tah" (as in "tar")/

Meaning

To skip school or work without permission to go do something more fun. In Mexico, "irse de pinta" is the classic teenage escape from class, sneaking out to hang at the park, the mall, or anywhere that is not a classroom. It is the universal student rebellion wrapped in a very Mexican phrase.

Examples

We skipped school to go to the park and the hall monitors caught us.

If you skip class again, they are going to report you.
