To play a joke without the other person knowing about it. Doesn't always have to mean a joke played on by another person but can also refer to any crappy situation in general.
Yoking is different than pranking in the way that it is like a prank, except pranking depends more on the actions of the other person and physical encounters, while yoking is more of like a joke.
