made you look

Fell for it

Made you look is a taunt delivered after tricking someone into looking at something—often a hand gesture below the waist, or simply pointing at nothing.

The phrase celebrates the small victory of catching someone off guard: Ha! Made you look.

It functions as a mild gotcha, common among children and in playful interactions between adults.
