shenanigans.

when people engage in behavior—for purposes of their own fun—that is generally considered off-limits or against the rules, their actions are called "shenanigans." parents can sometimes be heard yelling at their kids to "knock off the shenanigans!"

in the 1960s, the milton bradley company took advantage of this thing and made a game out of it. the game itself was based on an abc tv show of the same name, hosted by a big, funny guy named stubby kaye.
