banter:

According to Merriam-Webster's CollegiateŽ Dictionary

1 : to speak to or address in a witty and teasing manner


Now don't get me wrong but because "witty" is already
part of the diffinition doesn't that make "witty banter"
a double something?

No no, it must be the study of the perfect torte... which is merely the domain of pastry chefs and lawyers.

speaking of which, I have a friend who just started law school who is taking a class in tortes or some such, and I asked her what it was... she said her professor said she couldnt really define it... it was just one of those words you got used to using the right way. and we wonder why the legal system is so %$@#% incomprehensible?

Did you perhaps mean "tautology"?

It ain't that either :)

The simple version of the so-called 'tautology argument' is this:

Natural selection is the survival of the fittest. The fittest are those that survive. Therefore, evolution by natural selection is a tautology (a circular definition).
