Banter and offence aren't related. An offended person can have banter. Banter can be offensive. Banter is relaxed. What foreigners think of as banter is often just weird obsessive bitterness. Cold insect minded hatred. The opposite of joviality and levity that banter implies

shrimples. If call you a jungle chopping Amazonoid, that's banter. If I call you a dirty slum inbred unprovoked, that's malice.
