mockers

Those who ridicule

Mockers are people who mock—who ridicule, scorn, or make fun of others.

The word often appears in religious or literary contexts describing those who scoff at beliefs or authorities: The mockers shall be silenced.

To put the mockers on something (British and Australian slang) is to jinx it or ensure its failure.
