Hoax

A hoax is a deliberately fabricated falsehood made to mislead for the purpose of a joke, or to prove a point. The term hoax is believed to be a variant of the Dutch word hokus, which refers to a magical or conjuring trick. In Hebrew, a hoax is called מִתְנַסֶּה (mitnase), while in French, it is known as canular, and in German, it is referred to as Schwindel. Hoaxes are often used to expose the gullibility of others, or to attract attention. They can range from simple practical jokes to elaborate and sophisticated deceptions. The advent of the internet and social media has made it easier for hoaxes to spread rapidly and widely, often leading to significant real-world consequences. Notable examples include the War of the Worlds radio broadcast hoax by Orson Welles and the more recent "Momo Challenge" hoax that spread across various social media platforms.
