Snipe hunting

Definition

A time-honored rural prank where city folk are handed a pillowcase and led into the wilderness to 'catch' a fictitious bird that doesn't actually exist—a masterclass in gullibility and wasted effort.

Example Usage

We took the new intern snipe hunting and he spent two hours in a field before realizing we'd completely made it up.
