It's the get out clause for your run of the mill bully.

They push and push and when they're called out on it, they invoke the clause.

"What's your problem, it's only banter!"

Spunge

seems to be used on 4chan and stuff in the last few months or year.

As far as I can gather, it's making dick jokes, gay jokes and recycling stand-up comedians' lines and then passing that off as a sense of humour.

It's like when you're a little kid and the bigger kids who usually ignore you say they're making you king of the treehouse and you're proud as punch and you walk over to the tree and the wastards have made a trap at the bottom of it and your fall in and get your clothes all muck.

Its a social process whereby males in the teens and 20s lavish savage, ritual verbal cruelty on one another and pretend they're not offended before going home and crying in their rooms.

Particularly prevalent amongst culchie students.

Sorry, I'm actually just trying to delete voice messages on my work phone and pressing "#" on the keyboard instead.

This isn't the best place to ask because everyone in AH was bullied in school and they're still bitter about it.

It was just banter:)

Aongus Von Bismarck

When I was home for christmas I was down in the pub with some of the lads from school. A few of them decided to make some extremely cruel and very repetitive comments towards a particularly stupid person there. When I reminded them that questioning someone’s sexuality, saying it over and over again and laughing like a baboon each time isn’t exactly fine comedy they told me it was just “banter.”

I didn't respond with some "banter" of my own, even though there was a wealth of material available to me. Mostly related to how old looking and dreadfully out of shape they were for men in their mid-30's. Or that their idea of a really great 'lads holiday' was to head to Amsterdam to smoke weed and go - as they put it - window shopping. Pointing out their depressing lack of drive and ambition probably oversteps the mark of what banter is, as well. Can't say I wasn't tempted though.

What is this word "joke"? Is it some sort of jest?

Banter must always be 'savage', 'fierce', 'mighty' or just the definite article (cf Having The Banter).

The lines between what is banter and what is not are fading. Some people think making holocaust or dead parent jokes is just 'a bit of banter'. It will only be a matter of time before somebody who's getting sued in court for libel or defamation will get off on the 'it was just banter' clause.

It's a relatively harmless word for joking. I don't get this victim complex people attach to it.

"Noun - the playful and friendly exchange of teasing remarks."

Seriously if someone is bullying you and they say it's banter, hate the person not the word.

Sounds like they are very childish but I'm sure it wasn't coming from a bad place. You however seem to be pretty scathing towards these people, bordering on nastiness! I know which one I'd rather put up with on a night out.
