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.

preemptive mimicry

When you say something you know will cause your friend to make a face, and you make it first to avert an accusation of mimicry.
“I’m not mimicking you if I pout first.”
It’s preemptive mimicry!”
