You're joking! · You're teasing me!
This is your go-to phrase when someone tells you something completely unbelievable or tries to prank you! 😂 It's a playful way to call them out without being rude. Imagine your friend telling you they just won the lottery, but you know they're just messing with you!
💡 **Fun Fact!** The origin of "pulling someone's leg" might come from a darker practice in 18th-century London, where thieves would trip people (pull their leg) to rob them, or from old public executions where people would pull the legs of the condemned to hasten their death. Yikes! 😬 Luckily, today it's just a harmless way to say "You're kidding me!" or "You're joking!".
Your friend tells you they've seen a flying pig. Which English expression would you use to show you don't believe them in a playful way? A. You're pulling my leg! B. You're losing your mind! C. You're making a fuss!
