something done to another person, often fatal, with the intention of faking said person out. By claiming that an action was a prank, all faults of the "pranker" are erased.

2. "Dude, why'd you fuckin' stab me in the heart? I'm your best friend!"

Is the act of someone ringing your mobile once quickly with caller ID with no intention of you picking it up, so that you will call them back. Generally becuase they are a cheap ass.

It originated from people with little credit on their mobile when they needed to make an important call, now it is misused for unimportant calls and many people wont return the pranking even from friends. It is frowned upon to do so and people who do it often generally end up with little respect.
John: "My girlfriend has been pranking me all night"
Tony: "Dude she is doing that to you way too often"
John: "no shit"
Tony: "what a cheap ass gold digger"

As well as being used by cheap friends, pranking is also being reported as being used as a marketing strategy in Australia. You miss a call and your phone records it with caller ID, you return the call and find you're listening to a recorded marketing message
"oh, missed a call from 9555-1234...I wonder who that is..."

Dial 9555-1234...

"Damn, I wish they'd stop pranking me".

Two stupid Millenials faking a very obvious fake while shouting "whoooo!" or "Duuude!" or "Breeee!" if they are fags. The filmed result is usually published on TikTok where other halfwits of the same age and intellectual capacity go all "whoooo!" or "Duuude!" or "Breeee!" about it.

In Germany it is also known as "turkish operette" if it has a social component and the "acting" is really really shit.
Wow! Nice "prank" you attentionwhore.
