Joke to make somebody believe what isn't true (3-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leg-pull

(Other definitions for leg-pull that I've seen before include "A hoax, tease" , "Jolly jape involving lower limb" , "Informal hoax involving lower limb" , "Trick; practical joke" , "Good-humoured hoax" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
