Well Banter was a phrase us brits have used for years. It's good to see it has spread to you guys in America over the web owo.
We literally have a comedy TV channel called Dave who's tag line has been for years 'The home of witty banter.'
And I yeah most of those suck. But can be used for a piss-take well.
(And admittedly I use Bae around my friends when talking about my girlfriend XD)
