- Archbishop of Banterbury47%
A humorous honorary title applied to someone who is considered the undisputed master of banter in a social group — the wittiest, most relentlessly jokey person in the room. The pun on Archbishop of Canterbury makes it very British in flavour, and it's typically used as a mock-serious compliment. Thrives in group chats, lads' banter culture, and social media captions. Typically used affectionately rather than sarcastically, though it can shade into mild mockery of someone who overdoes the jokes.
