A "Wind-up merchant" is somebody who is disposed to wind others up, a habitual liar, or prankster. Origin: from the act of winding a clock or other clockwork device.

"He claimed he had been in the SAS, but it was just a wind-up."
"Bob would wind Mike up by claiming he'd slept with Mike's girlfriend"
"That blokes a wind-up merchant"
"It seemed at first glance to be two mathematicians arguing number theory, but it was a wind-up - they were just talking nonsense, it turned out."
