mimicry

Some stupid fucking word that people use to substitute "imitation" in the phrase "imitation is the highest form of flattery"

Person 1: What is the highest form of flattery?

Person 2: Oh! it's definitely mimicry!

Person 3: No it's not you fucking idiot, it's imitation. I've been saying it this whole time.

“I’m not mimicking you if I pout first.”
“It’s preemptive mimicry!”
