to mock
dupa parerea mea "to mock" este traducerea cea mai adecvata
Discussion
diss = treat, mention, or speak to rudely (deci se vorbește direct persoanei ”bălăcărite”)
bad-mouth someone = to say unpleasant things about someone or something, especially in order to spoil other people's opinions of them
