joking

It got to the stage where Howe was only half joking when he said "we don't have anything new left" on the eve of Saturday's game.

In 2019, she recalled the moment, joking: "You know what the worst thing is? He was right."

Tate said he and the woman were joking.

“You must be joking. You spend all this time denying me and then you turn around and say that you are, in fact, my mother?”

“Surely you are joking. I have never heard of murderous pheasants.”
