I've only heard pansies on the south coast say it. It's only a matter of time until it filters up to your parts.

Really? Never heard it.

I thought this was the fault of Dave (Tv channel).

'Witty banter' - the truly witless' attempt and elevating themselves over the hoi poloi...

The return of 'banter' to popular usage is presumably in large part attributable to:

Not really, considering that those videos are about people who talk like that. It's not as if they invented a style and then it got copied. Although they did spark off a few really un-funny spoofs...by the people being made fun of in the first place. Reminded me of all the chavs suddenly saying "but am I bovvered though" after Little Britain as if they were somehow in on the joke.

I've got a couple of mates who use it that are about as far from a chav as you can get, although they are generally a bit strange

Gilly · 28 Jan 2011 at 12:05

Bare? How do you mean?

I find the over use of "Comedy" more irritating.

"It was such a comedy night"
"OMG he's so comedy!"
"Want to go out for a few comedy drinks?"

The people who say it deserve to be beaten with a claw hammer.

Where I live substitute Comedy for Joke.

"Oh he's so joke"

WTF!

Bare as in lots of jokes ie that was bare jokes which in english and not chav speaks means it was lots of jokes etc...well thats my take on it when i hear it being said by the younger generation....sometimes i just want to smack their heads upside down

.

...scary stuff :eek:

"How much was that phone?"

"Bare"

It means the opposite of what it actually means.

Gilly · 28 Jan 2011 at 12:11

[edit]Bare phone?

WTF?

Dunks · 28 Jan 2011 at 12:11

Banter has been used for years. Not heard it anymore used now than a few years ago.

bare = a lot of or "very"

Incidentally, bare/jokes/nang/seen/long etc... is not banter.

Chavs are taking over GD.

Bare and jokes. Whatever
