The act of deriding can often involve scornful laughter, derogatory comments, or disrespectful gestures, which aim to humiliate or degrade the target. It is a form of verbal or non-verbal expression that seeks to undermine the credibility, worth, or dignity of the person or thing being mocked.
Deride is commonly employed when individuals disagree with or find fault in someone's ideas, actions, appearance, or characteristics.
