A banterous initiation to said friend: "I wonder if your ass gets jealous of all the shit coming out of your mouth ". A humerous and witty conversation, statement or remark. Coming back into fashion due to today's youth using it to mean anything remotely humorous, even to the most crude sense of humour. What an excellent bit of banter! A term now applied to what was previously known as "Conversation" if explicitly referred to at all by a generation whose aspirations have been systematically lowered due to endless hours of social networking and reality TV to the point that events which occur naturally, everyday, everywhere are now praised and honoured as achievements.
A word used to cover up what would usually be classed as completely inappropriate behaviour, usually ends in on of the parties being irritated beyond comparison.
Boy: Go fuck yourself, I hope you die in a hole. What bollocks you on about? Definition: Someone of physical attractiveness, as opposed to general health and muscle tone. Definition: The opposite of gutted — that is to say, extremely pleased, happy, excited, or all of the above. Definition: To seek permission to take something from someone without the intention of necessarily paying them back for it.

Following nationwide media coverage, Mr Stuchbery left the school by mutual consent. Author and journalist Musa Okwonga said the evolution of the word was partly the work of magazines such as Loaded and Nuts. He said this banter usage was propelled by comments made by Premier League manager Malky Mackay , and before that Andy Gray and Richard Keys, who made sexist comments about a female referee.
Mr Okwonga believes the type of humour now described as banter is now firmly established in the mainstream, citing as an example the success of the comedian Dapper Laughs , whose popularity on YouTube saw him offered an ITV2 show which was then pulled following complaints about his behaviour. Although he questions whether banning words is the way forward, Mr Okwonga said Mr Stuchbery was right to make a stand.
Luke Wright, a poet and broadcaster, said banter had become "more downmarket than it used to be". Mr Wright said he appreciated teachers being at their "wits' end", but said banning a word was "stupid". Daniel O'Reilly, the comedian behind Dapper Laughs told BBC Newsnight he would no longer be performing as the character after his banter "got carried away". I was creating the character and pushing the boundaries because it was quite popular.
John Bangs, the former head of education at the National Union of Teachers, said banter had become a "convenient word to cover up bullying and harassment". The Oxford English Dictionary says that banter means "to make fun of a person ; to hold up to ridicule, 'roast'; to jest at, rally, 'chaff'. Now usually of good-humoured raillery".
