Is mockery really the most severe form of flattery?
Thank you guys the Opinions😀
Imitation.
And no, it can be downright cruel and underhanded.
T-thanks
The sickest form of flattery
Imitation, yes. Mockery is more ridiculing and ugly.
Interesting.
Mockery is not a kind thing to do to someone.

I would say imitation, is but mockery can be too in some cases.
the saying is imitation not mockery... vastly different things
yes imitation can be a very sincere form of flattery because a person is in such great admiration or respect that they would copy a behavior
mockery is not flattering in most cases as mocking someone is done at the person's expense
Mockery can be either friendly or not, it depends on the intent. Also as others have already stated, the phrase is implied in the context of mimicry not mockery.
When people mock me itâs just friendly banter which I enjoy, either way I just accept the challenge and give it back!
Donât do the victim thing, show them who the winner is!
Mockery and mimicry are different things it sounds more like your talking about mimicry. mimcry is the highest form of flattery to mimic is to immitate to mock is to make fun of something by immitating it mockery can also mean an imperfect immitation for instance a zombie would be a mockery of life because it moves like its alive but it isn't.
No the phrase is: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
I donât necessarily agree or disagree with it either. Itâs true in many contexts, in other ones it can be an active form of disrespect.
No. Sounds like something someone who gets mocked a lot would say to try to feel better.
Wat? No. Whats this mockery mean? Pretty sure its conventionally a tool of provacation. Like the guy taunting you to into a fight doesn't care about imitating you. He just wants to engrage you.
I mean people are dressing up like the Kardashians because they want to be like them and getting implants and I do think it's sad but it's not sick and they do hold thise figures in the highest regard
OR... is it mutilation? :o
That's a act from a week minded person!
Sure some people do that approach and some loves get it too. that's just how it is.
No. Its one's own jealousy and insecurity of another being projected. Case and point: Nerds. The people that mock them tend to be flunkies themselves wishing they were smart
The saying is imitation not mockery
That aside mockery can come from a place of love and is flattery or it can come from something nasty and is not flattering at all
I thought it was âImitation is the most sincere form of flatteryâ.
No, mockery isn't flattery.
No, mockery is for dumb middle school junk, not even worth noticing!!
No. It can be a form of it, but not the most highest or most respectful form
That's not how the old saying goes
As I always say "if I didn't like you, I wouldn't make fun of you" hahaha
It is what it is. That's all that it is.
Imitation not mockery
