It's the whole 'Channel 4' attitude, if anybody else knows what I mean. Skins, 'Banter', 'Random', Rave, and bloody fake indie. It all somehow links and I want it all to burn.

Hell yes I hate it.
Over used to the point where it's general use is by people trying convince themselves they are funny and having a laugh.
Erm...nope 0_o

It's probably come out of this 'Skins generation' of kids who lack any sort of organic social life.

Thankfully nobody I know ever uses it. But we have 'craic' instead I suppose.

"Calm down mate. Its just banter.

We're only having a good crack like."

My friend speaks exactly like this! Although, I must admit being fond of the term banter.
I HATE it! It gets on my nerves.

I said "banter" before it was cool. :frown: I guess I shall now have to indulge in raillery instead.
It's evident the OP has no banter, hence is annoyed. -_-
