foolery

Behavior that is silly, stupid, or pointless. / Practical jokes or deceptive tricks intended to make someone look ridiculous.
Danh từ

This term carries a lighthearted yet often critical tone, describing actions that lack seriousness or purpose. It is frequently used by authority figures to reprimand subordinates or by observers to dismiss an activity as trivial and wasteful. While it can describe innocent play, it often implies a level of annoyance at the lack of productivity or decorum.

Grammatically, this noun is uncountable. It describes a general quality of behavior rather than individual acts. To refer to a single instance of this behavior, speakers must use partitive constructions such as a bit of foolery or an act of foolery.
