Ridicule में 'ready to kill' सुनिए। कोई सबके सामने आपका ऐसा मज़ाक़ उड़ाए मानो आपकी इज़्ज़त को kill करने के लिए ready बैठा हो — यही ridicule है। जिसका मज़ाक़ बने, वह ridiculous लगने लगता है।

Hear 'ready to kill' in RIDICULE. When someone mocks you in front of everyone, it feels as if he is ready to kill your respect. Mockery that destroys someone's dignity is ridicule, and the person who is mocked becomes ridiculous in others' eyes.
