Derision
<der-rij-shun>
ridicule; mockery; scorn;
showing contempt with insults and laughter.
The boys wailed with derision when his hat blew off and he had to chase it.
Memory trick:
derision reminds of deride.
deride means to mock.
At work:
Never react with derision to any question the client may ask. There is no such thing as a stupid question.
