Mockery has always been connected to humor, mocking both politeness and impoliteness. According to some (Drew 1987; Norrick 1993; Boxer and Corte´s-Conde 1997; Partington 2006; Martin 2007; as cited in Dynel, 2009), mockery can be addressed as a type of humor that is represented by teasing. However, according to some others, it should be treated as a separate pragmatic act (Haugh and Bousfield, 2012). Actually, Leech (1983) was the one who first used the phrase "mock impoliteness" to characterize actions that appear rude at first glance but actually reveal a deeper level of communication between the persons involved. Mockery is also known as mock impoliteness, according to Maíz-Arévalo (2015), and it encompasses a variety of behaviors like teasing, banter, jocular insults, etc. The use of humor to denigrate or minimize a target, whether or not they are present, is known as muckraking Kazakova, (2015). It shares conceptual similarities with teasing, which likewise entails fun and provocation. Dynel (2008).
