EN: mockery; derision
This is high-level pang-aasar. It's not just a simple insult; it's performance art. Think of a comedian perfectly imitating a politician's voice and mannerisms, or your friend mimicking the way you walk when you're trying to be cool. It's the act of turning someone into a caricature for laughs, sometimes harmless, sometimes savage.
From paN- (becomes pam-) + reduplication of the first syllable of the root 'badya' (-ma-). 'Badya' means to declare, but in this context, it takes on the sense of imitation.
This is a less common word. A more common synonym is 'panggagaya' or 'panunuya'.
