Synonyms Lampoon, Pasquinade, Invective, Satire. The difference between lampoon and pasquinade is not great, but perhaps a lampoon is more malicious, more directly aimed to insult and degrade, while a pasquinade is shorter and of a lighter nature. (See the history of pasquinade, under the definition. See also satire.) An invective is a verbal onslaught, generally spoken but possibly written, designed to bring reproach upon another person, present or absent; as, the invectives of Demosthenes against Philip, of Cicero against Verres, of Queen Margaret against Richard (Shak., Rich. III., i. 3). An invective differs from a satire, in its intensity and in its lack of reformatory purpose. noun

A personal satire in writing; usually, malicious and abusive censure written only to reproach and distress. noun

Any satire ridiculing or mocking a person, activity, or institution by representing its character or behavior in an exaggerated or grotesque form; the representation may be written, filmed, or performed as a live skit, and may be intended as a severe reproach, or as good-natured humor. noun
