Could you please look at a pic?

There is a sentence like "It was sort of a lark that I joined".
Can I turn that around that ”it was a joke that I joined” or ”I joined it for fun”?

How can I turn that around?
Could you help me?

Answer

Hi, American here. I believe this is UK English but the phrase  "for the lark" tends to mean "for fun" or "just because". In the US we tend to say "for the heck/hell of it" a slightly rude way of saying "I didn't have a well thought out purpose of doing this"

Answer

Lark means, “something done for fun”. So yes, if you’d like, you can say “I joined for fun”.👍🏻
