doesn't help that I actually saw a Gus look-alike recently:bong:


yo mr white!
Fictional animal from a popular sci-fi film series that looks like this:



Or as has been said, an excuse to act the **** without repercussions.
Horseplay. Giving someone a ribbing. Having a laugh. Teasing Americans also do things because YOLO, whereas Brits do it "for the banter". If you become skilled in the art of banter, you may be labelled a Bantersaurus, Banter Claus, The Archbishop of Banterbury, Bantom of the opera, Eric Bantona or similar.

Basically people act like complete ********s and then claim 'it's banter' and that therefore means they should avoid any repercussions because anyone complaining 'can't take a joke'.


I bet you're fun at parties

Banter is banter. There is no other way to describe it. Its like 'cheeky nandos'. If you don't know, you don't know :tongue:


this tbh x'D

it's kinda like joking around but that's not really describing banter properly
when you have banter, you'll know banter :wink:

"The playful and friendly exchange of teasing remarks"

Teasing remarks means sexual remarks, in my experience...

Favourite quote in the whole series.

That train heist, along with most of Gus and the plot to kill Tuco were my favourite parts in the whole series

It's like a joke/laugh which usually includes insults.
Yeah it's basically the concept of messing around and having fun with your friends
