This clue could be a double definition.

'just kidding' is the first definition.
'chaff' can be an answer for 'kidding' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'just' bit.

'refuse' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for chaff that I've seen before include "Worthless material (from corn)" , "Corn-husks separated from the grain" , "It's separated from wheat during threshing" , "Refuse - banter" , "something worth little" .)
