pull somebody’s leg

utahovat si z koho, dělat si legraci z koho

The other children pulled his leg and generally teased him about what he had seen but the child strenuously defended his story.

She was pulling his leg. She always gave as much as she got, more, he should say. And so of course they started pulling his leg then see? And he said he said no, are you gonna watch Cardiff City lose again.

There is no letter for you, Billy, she says, handing them back and shutting her eyes. I think she’s pulling my leg, so I ask her again. There’s nothing, she says. I want her to check through them again.
