ABSTRACT
Parody (Parodi-noun; parodiere-verb); Satire (Satire-noun; satirisere-verb)
From ancient Greek παρῳδία, a vulgar or burlesque poem (the prefix παρα-means “beside,” “parallel to,” or, as here, “mock,” and ᾠδή means “song,” “ode”). Its lexical meaning in Danish is either that of a literary work caricaturing another work or it may refer to a person or something being mocked or distorted for humorous and/or ridiculing purpose.1 The concept of satire derives from French satire and Latin satira, a poem lambasting persons and vices.2
