A word used to describe the teasing and pisstaking which occurs between mates, usually harmless.
However, the past couple of years the word has been hijacked by Justin Bieber
lookalike student "LAD" twats who use it to describe anything humorous that occurs. These people are also known as
chino wankers, annoying morons and people who need to
use a dictionary now and again.
What
banter is:
"You alright Mike? You seem miles away, you're not busy thinking of Tanya are you? Don't even lie, you proper fancy her, you
div!"
What banter isn't:
"LOL LAST NIGHT DAVE WALKED INTO A
LAMPPOST! EPIC
BANTER LOL! WHAT A LAD!"
