Word of the day: chaff

The word of the day is chaff:

to mock, tease, or jest in a good-natured way; banter (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/chaff)


"Three patrol wagons were drawn up at the curb, and the whole neighborhood had turned out to see the sport; there was much chaffing, and a universal craning of necks."

 - Upton Sinclair, The Jungle
