   What  a  load  of  -­A  case  of  media  excess

The   Oxford   Diction-­ary   defines   banter  as   “the   playful   and  friendly  exchange  of  friendly  remarks”

Banter  was  invented  by   Professor   Henry  Banter  in  1976  at  the  University  of  Oxford  Linguistic   Depart-­ment.

At   the  World  Banter  Olympics,  Great  Brit-­ain  won  seven  golds  including   the   Team  Pursuit   and   Men’s  Steeplechase.

The   average   ban-­ter   rating   emanat-­ing   from   the   MCG  during   the   Boxing  Day   test   match   can  peak   at   up   to   13.8  Clubhouses  (a  Club-­house   is   the   stand-­ard  measurement  of  banter)
