I always thought banter was people taking the P!ss out of each other for comedic value? usually male friends.

The word I'd use to describe what they were doing, is flirting.

he was the same as a player tbh

Banter just seems to be the standard excuse for being a **** really

Before he went in the house his mate said he played a lot of banter, cant see a problem there :shrug:

Whats banter about what jermaine done?

What exactly has he done though?

Its all in my original post.

None of that is banter.

Flirty and Banter aren't really the same thing though

You never heard of flanter?

:laugh: I've heard of Smirting but never flanter

Its a common word.

Not here it's not

He's an utter pig and I don't think there's any way to defend his behavior. HE made the choice to pursue a showmance and lie about his marriage, HE tried to get Chloe to lie about it on the outside to save face, HE was the one being utterly disgusting about her when it all blew up in his face to make her look like the bad guy.

We know what he thinks of women from those book excerpts of his and his behaviour in the house has shown he is every bit the mysoginistic twat he always was.

But ireland is generally 3 yrs behind the rest of the uk.

Ireland isn't in the UK

Well im not surprised you aint ever heard of fanter.

Not missing much by the sounds of it

Well you are actually...cause fanter describes exactly what jermaine was doing....flirty banter, something that tonnes of married men partake in.

When you find yourself jumping through all sorts of logic loops to justify someone's behaviour than usually it's a pretty big telltale sign that you are in the wrong.

Whats that got to do with bb housemates?

Sounds awfully like a disguised attack on forum members....and their opinions...which as you know dezzy...IS NOT ALLOWED.

Sounds like a made up word to excuse cheats/potential cheats

Oh it has more than one meaning.....

Fanter
A person who jerks off to or with stolen ****.
That ****in fanter is probably spankin' it with my stolen panties right now!

What about flirty banter though :laugh:

'After watching last night's episode even more it's made me realise that he's only trying to convince himself that's he not doing anything wrong. He keeps saying it's banter, banter, but he's not fooling anyone but himself' :clap1: :clap1:
