What does PARODY mean in Scrabble?
noun
An imitation of a serious work, style or person, made to mock it or to amuse by exaggeration.
A parody keeps the recognisable shape of its target but bends it into something comic, often by pairing a solemn style with a silly subject. Good parody needs the author to know the original well, since the joke depends on the audience spotting what has been twisted. The word comes from a Greek term for a song sung alongside another, and it is used for books, songs, films and sketches alike. It can also mean a poor or laughable imitation, as in a parody of justice.
