It means to mock or poke fun in a gentle friendly and humorous way.
However - the very fact that you used the word facetiousness in context and spelled correctly means I narrow my eyes at you in quiet surprised admiration.
*takes deep breath*
Ok you. Listen up and listen good, I have absolutely no qualms with using larger words, I have never really had problems with vocab (quite extensive) and my spelling (practically perfect in every way). And as for context, I get it right every time due to instinct. If it looks right to me, it usually is. Also, I know exactly what facetious means, I was actually trying not to confuse the member who questioned it's definition by using sarcasm as an example. But thanks. So un-narrow those eyes honey, I don't need your 'quiet, surprised admiration'. I happen to know I'm above average 😉
