Persiflage - light teasing - sounds very flowery (as in "I'll have those white lillies, and oh, can you add a bit of persiflage for colour?"). I had to look it up since it's not the most common word here in French Québec.

O.k., I'll take it as that. I know I've got bad habits that are hard to break (I feel my Hubby nodding emphatically at that one, as I chatter happlily over breakfast and he needs a coffee in him before he's in any mood for a conversation. )
