  Jest \Jest\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. {Jested}; p. pr. & vb. n.
     {Jesting}.]

     Syn: To joke; sport; rally.
  
     Usage: To {Jest}, {Joke}. One jests in order to make others
            laugh; one jokes to please himself. A jest is usually
            at the expense of another, and is often ill-natured; a
            joke is a sportive sally designed to promote good
            humor without wounding the feelings of its object.
            ``Jests are, therefore, seldom harmless; jokes
            frequently allowable. The most serious subject may be
            degraded by being turned into a jest.'' --Crabb.
