Be careful! Shenanigans, funny plots and witticisms are lurking! Today is April Fool’s Day!
The point of today is to make a harmless prank, spread a fake news and play a joke on someone. The joke made is called an April Fool’s joke, and after we have played a joke with someone and admit that it is a joke, we exclaim (aprilili) – April Fools!

How did Joke Day come about?

Wondering how Joke Day came about? There is no precisely defined answer to the question posed, but there are theories.
One theory is linked to the Bible – namely, there are beliefs that the Feast of Jokes has been celebrated since Noah first released a dove to check whether the water from the great flood had receded.

The unwritten rule is that jokes are only made until noon, and anyone who plays a joke or makes a joke after noon is called an April fool (aprilska budala). However, this is not the case in Serbia, where jokes are made throughout the day.
