Kid around (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

jest

joke

'kid around' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for jest that I've seen before include "Sally" , "` `Many a true word is spoken in . . . .' '" , "Piece of humour" , "Banter, joke" , "it's not serious, so to speak" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Newsday, the King Feature Syndicate and the Universal.
