STOP BANTER

There are words and phrases that seem to bypass the brain and nestle deep in your bowels, where they twitch and generally ruin your day. Management speak has given us plenty — “impactful”, “incentivise”, “moving forward”, unless it’s applied to something that is, well, actually moving forward — as has the internet, most recently the chimerical horror of “awesomesauce”. “Rail replacement bus service” sends my brother into apoplexy, albeit very slowly, via Tring.

Nominations from Twitter included “amazeballs”, “I can haz”, “it may have been raining but spirits were not dampened”, and “John Terry”. Each and every one, a thumping abomination.

But none of them come close to “banter”.
