    What’s the definition of most?

    Here’s the definition of a prank:

    a practical joke or mischievous act

    A practical joke or prank is a trick played on people, generally causing the victim to experience embarrassment, perplexity, confusion, or discomfort.

    No laughter required.

      No mention of laughter even being a factor.

      I shared the part where it mentioned it being a factor.

      No, not required, but overall or most or more than half or more frequently or insert synonym here for most…

      Generally a good practical joke will have the victim to be able to laugh after the fact and not be like you assaulted me. Assault isn’t a joke.

      Since you don’t know what most means you may not know what assault means …

      violent physical attack, as with blows.

        That’s fine. The guy I was responding to was trying to argue that all pranks make everyone laugh, which is ridiculous.

          Yeah and the person I’m responding to said

          threw it as a prank

          What I’m saying, it’s it doesn’t matter the intent, assault isn’t a joke. Throwing objects that can potentially cause injury isn’t a practical joke at all.
