The act or practice of imitating something in the opposite way; reverse mimicry or opposing imitation.
From counter- (opposite) + imitation (from Latin 'imitatio'). Used in art, psychology, and communication to describe opposing or contrasting copying behavior.
Counterimitation is how comedians create humor—they copy someone's style perfectly but flip the context or meaning, which makes it funny and clever!
