The magnificent art of using word play, opinions, exaggeration, irony, sarcasm, and other comedic themes to (playfully) humiliate, make fun of, and laugh at your friends. This word is most commonly used in Britain, but 'Banter' is used around the world.

The type of male who always seems keen to stay in the crowd. It's only after 15 years of friendship you get left alone in a bar with him. It suddenly dawns on you that this man has no conversation at all.

Supple term used to describe activities or chat that is playful, intelligent and original. Banter is something you either posses or lack, there is no middle ground. It is also something inherently English, stemming as it does from traditional hi-jinks and tomfoolery of British yesteryear.
"You, sir, are drunk"
"Maybe so but you are ugly and I will be sober in the morning"
"Good banter sir"
"Maybe so but you are ugly and I will be sober in the morning"
"Good banter sir"

A word used to describe the teasing and pisstaking which occurs between mates, usually harmless.
However, the past couple of years the word has been hijacked by Justin Bieber lookalike student "LAD" twats who use it to describe anything humorous that occurs. These people are also known as chino wankers, annoying morons and people who need to use a dictionary now and again.

Verbal sparring that's fundamentally friendly, especially needed to deflate the egos of gloating friends
A banterous initiation to said friend:
"I wonder if your ass gets jealous of all the shit coming out of your mouth"
