When someone makes a joke by lying to you and pretending that the lie is
true, they are "pulling your leg". Example: "Look; your shoes are untied...
Ha! Just pulling your leg." When you trick a person into believing a lie as
a way of making a joke, you are pulling their leg. Example: "Really? That
store is closed on Sunday? Are you sure?" Answer: "Don't listen to him; he
is just pulling your leg." When you are the person who is being tricked,
your leg is being pulled. Example: "I want to ask you a question and I would
like an honest answer; no pulling my leg."
