Origins

The phrase "just kidding" is generally believed to have been invented by Oscar Wilde as a baby. The first words ever spoken by the child were "just kidding," which were heard by FBI agents. Convinced that the baby was a genius, they performed numerous tests on it, genetically modified it, and have complete control over Oscar Wilde via a radio in their head.

Naw, I'm just kidding about all that, Oscar Wilde.
