Etymology

The term 'razzing' is derived from the word 'razz', which is believed to have originated in American slang in the early 20th century. The word has connections to the theatrical world, where it was initially used to describe the act of making fun of someone in a light-hearted manner or to boo and hiss at a performer. Over time, 'razz' evolved into 'razzing', adopting a more playful connotation and becoming commonly used among friends as a way of teasing one another. The playful nature of razzing reflects the social dynamics of friendship, where light teasing often serves to strengthen bonds and create a sense of community. This informal usage of the term continues to thrive, especially in conversational English, symbolizing a shared understanding of humor and camaraderie.
