• ingilizce'de işlevine göre üç sohbet türünden biridir, arkadaşlar arasında esprili, birbirine laf atılan sohbet türüdür. türkçe'ye geyik muhabbeti olarak çevirebiliriz az çok. diğer türler de işlevli sohbet ve ingilizce'de small talk denen yüzeysel boş konuşmadır.
  
  örneğin, qi'daki panelistlere bantermeister denir.

  "this is not a tirade against rudeness. ı am all in favour of rudeness, of bawdiness, of insult and mockery and obscenity. they're all brilliant things, when done well. but "banter" isn't. ıf you insult someone, you expect them to be insulted; if you are rude, you expect people to be offended. "banter" is apparently a free pass: ı can insult you, but you're not allowed to be insulted, because "it's only banter". ı can be obscene, but you can't be offended, because "it's only banter". no. ıf you're a grown-up, you know that your offensiveness may offend, and you either accept that or you apologise and don't do it again. saying "it's only banter" makes you not only an idiot, but an idiot who can't take responsibility for his own jokes.
  this isn't "only banter". ı'm literally and specifically saying that if you – you, the reader – like "banter", you are an idiot. you are welcome to be offended by that."
