putting on
Slipping something on
Putting on has two main threads.
One is the act of dressing or applying: She's putting on her shoes, He's putting on sunscreen.
The other means deceiving or teasing someone with false claims: You're putting me on—that can't be true.
A put-on is a joke, hoax, or affectation: The whole thing was a put-on.
