The Origins of April Fools
Posted April 1, 2016
It’s said that April Fool’s originated in the 1500s when France switched from the Julian calendar, in which the new year was celebrated on April 1, to the Gregorian calendar, which made January 1 the beginning of the new year. Anybody who continued to celebrate the new year on April 1st was branded an “April Fool”. Except in France they shout, “Poisson d’Avril!” which means, literally, “April Fish!” (“April fish” refers to a young fish, thus one easily caught.) Ok. In Scotland, where April 1 is devoted to spoofs involving the buttocks and who’s citizens are credited with inventing the classic “Kick Me!” sign, they refer to the pranked as an April “gowk”, the Scottish word for cuckoo.
