Definition:
-
(mock as in: don't mock me) make fun of (ridicule--sometimes by imitating in an exaggerated manner)
or (more rarely): just to make fun or to be ridiculous without targeting anyone as a victimeditor's notes: These senses of mockery come together when a comedian pokes fun at a politician by pretending to be the politician and saying ridiculous things.
