Joking, kidding, being ridiculous. From the word jester, a merry maker in some royal courts.

Jest means joke, fool around.
The expression, "Surely you jest", means "You have got to be kidding!"

With an e e cummings poem, affirming "it is what it skill to me" is like attempting to nail Jello to a tree. This poem has continuously appeared very professional-feminist, or a minimum of anti anti-feminist. It talks about autonomous wondering to me. Effie (a attractiveness that sounds suspiciously like the note "iffy") curiously by no skill concept for herself and all this is left of her crumbly mind is a collection of subjunctives: woulda, coulda ,shoulda, musta. Even God seems on those 6 crumbs with puzzlement; even His omniscience can not fathom why someone ought to stay her existence allowing others to imagine for her.

In most cases it means "joking around".
