Parrot Banter

When two people, typically good friends or relatives, get into an argument not for the sake of getting their point across, but to hear themselves talk.

The arguments are typically about topics neither knows much about, or they choose sides which they don't truly support, all for the sake of comedy.

Person 1: What are those two talking about?

Person 2: I don't know, parrot banter I guess.

'banter train'

A group of 2 or more people (often, but not necessarily, LADS) embarking on a common journey to no place in particular, united by the sole aim of having a laugh.

Lad 1: Man, today is a slow news day.
Lad 2: Tell me about it...what times does the 'banter train' leave?

*Enter Lad 3*

Lad 3: All aboard! First stop 'Japes City'!

banterize

To make fun of or belittle another using banter often with a mate or group of mates generally in a playful tone or if they’re being a prick. This phrase is used near exclusively in native English dialect due to the deviation from the word banter.

“Hey Don I hear Richard jerks off to hentai.”
“Yeah Steve I say we banterize him.”

Banter roundabout

When the banter repeats itself and just goes round in circles. Can be hilarious for particularly good banter or exhausting when the banter is produced by an inexperienced practitioner.

I wouldn't chat to them, absolute banter roundabout
