What does SPOOF mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A humorous imitation of something, such as a film or song, that exaggerates its familiar features for comic effect.
A spoof depends on the audience already knowing the original work, since the humor comes from recognizing what has been exaggerated or twisted. Television shows and comedy sketches often build an entire episode around a spoof of a familiar movie genre, like westerns or spy thrillers. Unlike straightforward mockery, a spoof usually stays affectionate toward its target rather than harshly critical. The same root also gave English the verb to spoof, meaning to trick or fool someone in a lighthearted way.
