Looking forward to some persiflage in February 2008.
"persiflage \PUR-suh-flahzh\, noun:
Frivolous or bantering talk; a frivolous manner of treating any subject, whether serious or otherwise; light raillery.
'He was somber and wordless and utterly unresponsive to my mother's charming persiflage.'
Rosemary Mahoney, A Likely Story
Persiflage comes from French, from persifler "to banter," from per-"thoroughly" (from Latin) + siffler "to hiss, to whistle,"
ultimately from Latin "
