1st April

Did you get punked?

You did.

No I did not get punked. It was past 12 midday and the the punks are no more valid.

I have never heard that expression before. With which dialect of English does the term originate?

That may or may not be a thing elsewhere, it isn't here.

I disagree. The author made it clear it was an April Fool's joke and you still got "punked."

It might be time to polish up your reading and humility skills.

It is a thing in the UK, or it was when I was growing up there but the OP isn’t from the UK.

So? You‘re not from the UK nor the US so why not simply admit?

There's more than enough pranks everyday with it being April 1st.

Kids applied garlic to our toothbrushes

Ha haaa. Sorry, I couldn't help but laugh.

At least they didn't clean the toilet with your toothbrushes. I did that to my stepdad once when I was little because he was being a d**k.

Well where I come from we believe in the sanctity of long standing Tradition

It certainly is in the Italian and French speaking parts! (as well as in Italy and France)
