Banter

Always think about that word when I see the 'Dave' TV channel motto.

The home of witty banter.

Anyroad, I had me an google, as is my wont.

ban·ter

/ˈbantər/



Noun

The playful and friendly exchange of teasing remarks.

Verb

Talk or exchange remarks in a good-humored teasing way: "the men bantered with the waitresses"; "a bantering tone".



I'll have that.

The brains at the UD have a similar idea:


banter

Supple term used to describe activities or chat that is playful, intelligent and original. Banter is something you either posses or lack, there is no middle ground. It is also something inherently English, stemming as it does from traditional hi-jinks and tomfoolery of British yesteryear.

"You, sir, are drunk"

"Maybe so but you are ugly and I will be sober in the morning"

"Good banter sir"


Supple?


Typing of 'Dave', that false bon homie with the audince on Top Gear irks me. (Not that I watch much Top Gear)

Is bant a Wiganism?

Run out of bant. Not much bant in it etc.

Thought of that when remembering Arkwright's offer to pamper Nurse Gladys.

"I'll pamper you 'til there's not a pamp left in you"

bant

n Lancashire dialect
1. string
2. strength or springiness of material
[probably a dialect pronunciation of band2]

Very interesting, Jo Anne.

Often used by folk to describe air rifles etc. Which are mostly spring operated.

Naughty acronyms can be found on a certain 'reliable' resource.

No links or this thread will go pear-shaped.

So you peeped.

I've also heard the term used in a ribald negative way to describe a weak sounding expulsion fo gas.

I remember saying years ago "there's more bant in a bottle of pop" meaning you have no get up and go, or you are a weakling.

now truthfully, who's name sprang to mind when you read that.

there a couple of weaklings on here

Wwwwwwwell mmmmmm Ypou, or was it yopu. You know what I mean

'Banter is something you either posses or lack, there is no middle ground.'

Ta daaaaa....Every one's a winner.

If that would have been me, and I would have asked "round to who" and some replied,nand I didn't no anything about it i would have just said that

He definitely lacks [Insert ANYTHING here]

Was it the Chuckle Brothers. In the scullery. With an rubber hosepipe?

theres a weakling who had to get his wife to stick up for him

how embarrassing,

oh and to make matters worse, he claimed to be a big lad

I'm not charging for this masterclass, you know.

It was social etiquette, Intellect, friends, etc...

Was it the Chuckle Brothers. In the scullery. With an rubber hosepipe?

No it was a claw hammer

I'd rather have the hosepipe.

He's a lausing staock

Anyhap, back to the matter in hand.

This marvelous new thread of mine was inspired by a comment I made elsewhere.

I'm scared to look.

Which, coincidentally is what Mac's Doctor alays says to him when he 'presents'.

I do hope you can take it on the chin, Mac, dearie.

Or to put you in your place, pete. whereas your 'wife' will be shaving her testicles before going to work in the chinese chippy.

If that is a dicky spring, you'd better be putting it on the other thread I created out of the goodness of my heart.

Or is it bantless?

Not enough bant

I know the feeling.

Wasn't Spring Heeled Jack a caricature around the time of Jack the Ripper - or another suspect?
