Jay Leno had this popular segment on his late night show called "Jaywalking", where he would go out into LA and ask people on the street simple questions about history, geography, politics, etc. and get the most unbelievably stupid responses. I'm sure he only selected the worst ones to put on air, but still, he was able to do it on a weekly basis for years.

Bantering is just another word for arguing right? If it is, it might not be a good idea for me. I get very emotionally involved in arguments. Then people think I'm giving them attitude and then they get mad at me :x . And I really can't have people mad at me. It hurts my feelings :blub: .
But if bantering is not arguing, please explain it. I might join in.

AFAIK, "banter" is just another term for innocuous chit-chat.

Similar, with a little side context of "harmless" or "trivial."

Yup, it's right on your keyboard, ææææææææ, see, it's easy to type, you just have to find it, it's on the back of most keyboards.


I wonder how many actually looked at the back of their keyboards, lol
