Joshing (verb): to engage in banter

“I stood for a few minutes here as well, took in the looping motion of the bowler, the joshing exhortations of the players, tamped down and softened by the rain.”

“Walk with Me” – David L Ulin

This word honestly is very interesting as it is rarely used today, so seeing a person josh is something that you might not understand without getting a clear picture of what is happening. It could be thought of as just a name but you would surely be mistaken.
