| | joking relationships | Explanation:
Some quick research points to this as the probable term in English.
joking relationship (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joking_relationship): A joking relationship is a term applied by anthropologists to the institutionalised form of interaction between certain pairs of people in some societies. Analysed by British social anthropologist Alfred Radcliffe-Brown in 1940, it describes a kind of ritualised banter that takes place, for example between a man and his maternal mother-in-law in some South African tribal societies. |
