Neologism - Decevious

For those of us who never grew up April Fools Day remains one of our favorite days of the year. I love the pranks and gags that people pull and I love the great stories that they produce for later. But there has never been one single word to encapsulate the spirit of the April Fools prankster until I found the new word I share with you now.

The new word is decevious. Decevious is a clever combination of the words deceptive and devious forming and uber word that perfectly describes the April Fools prankster. The word means that whatever is being described is misleading, underhanded, and shifty. A perfect word for those of us who still enjoy the fake-plastic-vomit-in-the-shoe gag.
