Analysis by Joe Krozel
We all know “jest” means to make witty remarks. And, it’s not uncommon to say “all jesting aside” when finished exchanging verbal quips with someone. We also know that a “joust” is (broadly) a combat or struggle between individuals. So, it’s only natural to say the eggcorn “all jousting aside” after exchanging witty jabs.
