Mop word comes from a noun (noun) Dutch: mop, a joke. The singular is (een) mop = (a) a joke while the plural form, moppen, mean jokes. Dutch period in West Papua or the Nederlands Nieuw Guinea Papua introduced to the Dutch education.

              April Fool's terms: Jokes April. The date falls on 1 April each year.
 To introduce this culture, there are teachers who outwit the Dutch students in accordance pilihannya.Tom Papua, said a Dutch teacher to a student of the famous comic and head winds in the classroom, what do you want to keep mosquitoes at jidatmu suck your blood? You did not slap him? Tom believed that very soon said the teacher slapped his forehead that is not their blood sucked by a mosquito sekalipun.Tom see his hands are not bloody and beaten without mosquito crushed and confused. April Fool's Day, her teacher said with a smile. Each 1 April, people in the Netherlands to outwit each other and this tradition has been going on for hundreds of years, he explained

 Perhaps, the Dutch did not think of Western culture joke that they are introduced in the Dutch period in New Guinea or West Papua would be an impression as a cultural play (fun) typical of Papua. Play their culture is expressed through the farce they call a typical Papuan mob, a term which I think should be tailored to the Dutch spelling.

 There is also the tradition of April joke in the UK. In English, he called April Fools Day
 Day of April joke, or All Fools Day, All Day joke.
 As in the Netherlands, this day falls on April 1.

 Day joke April is estimated to begin in France at the time of the new calendar replaced the old calendar in 1582. At that time, Carl IX is still the king of France, and the Christian calendar is not set January 1 as New Year Celebration renewed. The new calendar replaced the old calendars: Gregorian Calendar. (The new calendar is so named in honor of Gregory XIII, Pope of the Catholic Church between 1572-1585; it was he who introduced this calendar.) Before the change, the Christian New Year celebrations during the week,
 between March 25 and April 1. With the enactment of the new calendar, the celebration was brought forward or postponed to January 1.

 But socialization change the date to celebrate the New Year had been slowed in France since the 1582 Gregorian calendar applicable legal. There is no means of delivering information changes in a matter of days, hours, minutes or even seconds, such as telephone, mobile, radio, television, or Internet today. As a result of inaction socialization, some people or new community know about the calendar change was a few years later.

 But the others, though it was told, still refused to accept the calendar changes. They decided to celebrate New Year according to the date of the old Christian,
 this time it was dropped on 1 April. Classes of French society was stubborn and labeled fools (fools) by other community groups who already receive the calendar changes itu.Tidak leave it at that judgment upon them. They were the subject of ridicule and dikerjain. They, for example, received submissions and invitations to attend the reception pernikahan.Orang plain stupid or is coming to the show by wearing business attire and bring a wedding gift but find that marriage does not exist.

 Tradition of trick people on April 1, it is gradually spreading to Western European countries that lain.Hari joke was known and practiced in England and Scotland in the 18th century.
 He was then introduced into the United States, at that time still a British colony, the British and did not miss Perancis.Belanda influenced tradition of April joke.
 Then they introduce this tradition in Dutch New Guinea or West Papua.
 Papua pupils who learn from the Dutch masters and cultural practice at his school friends every 1 April.

            After the Dutch left West Papua, the tradition of April joke turned into a joke typical meaning is then called a mob Papua.Lelucon. Instead, he spelled according to the original word in Dutch: mop.Anda a glimpse of the influence of French culture that became a culture in Papua over the role of the Dutch. In contrast to the culture of international jokes day which falls on 1 April, the Papuans do not celebrate it. They just adopted the funny elements in a variety of funny stories which they call a typical Papuan mop

Maybe for people who have never heard a mop, would be confused and not understand what was in talking about and why after the mop convey a lot of people laugh out loud, it was all caused because the mop is delivered with an accent and dialect of Papua rapid and high-pitched . But for people who live in Papua itself, mop the material conveyed refreshing.Mop when the people were gathered in sore.Di when such an incredible entertainment match went to the mall or shopping ..
