Roasting

Roasting, in a general knowledge context, refers to a humorous and often exaggerated critique or joke about a person, typically delivered in a light-hearted setting. It involves playful banter that highlights someone's quirks, flaws, or past situations, all in good fun and without malice. Roasting is commonly seen in comedy events, where friends or comedians take turns making funny remarks about each other. The goal is to entertain an audience while showing camaraderie, as those being roasted usually understand the intent is humorous rather than hurtful. It thrives on wit and clever wordplay.
