Fishing for cod
Codding is an old-fashioned or dialectal word meaning joking, teasing, or making fun of someone in a playful way: Are you serious or just codding me?
The term survives mainly in Irish and British English, where cod means to fool or hoax.
It can also refer to the act of catching or fishing for cod, though this sense is rare.
