The verb "to kid" probably derives from kids' (i.e., children's) predisposition to make up stories. However, it has also been suggested that "to kid" might be linked to the death of a notorious 17th century Scottish sailor (Captain William Kidd), who was tried and hung as a pirate in 1701. During the first two attempts to hang him, the rope broke, but it held on the third try, and it was said that the executioners were just "joking" with the first two efforts, and this later became "kidding."
