roasts

Cooks with heat

Roasts are cuts of meat suitable for roasting—cooking with dry heat in an oven or over an open flame.

A roast is also the meal or event centered on such a dish: We're having a roast for Sunday dinner.

In a different sense, a roast is a comedic event where speakers take turns mocking a guest of honor with affectionate insults: The celebrity roast aired on Comedy Central.

To roast someone informally means to criticize or mock them harshly: Twitter roasted him for that take.
