showily', oralternatively, 'a
ludicrous or grotesque act
done for fun andamusement'.
Pranks can take the forms of
practical jokes,hoaxes, or
even petty criminal activity,
such as the theft of traffic
cones.Practical jokes are
associated with several
holidays, such asApril Fool's
Day, Halloween, and the Day of
the Holy Innocents(in
Spanish-speaking cultures).
They also feature in various
rites of passage, such as stag
nights.In recent years, the
term 'pranking' has also come
to mean theringing of a mobile
telephone and hanging up
before it isanswered, to alert
the mobile phone's user
without having to pay a
network connection charge.
