A Roast, in North American English,
is an event in which an individual is
subject to publicly bearing comedic insults,
praise, outlandish true and untrue stories,
racial stereotypes and heartwarming tributes.
The implication being that the roastee
is able to take the jokes in good faith and
as not being serious criticism or insult,
and therefore showing their good nature.
It is seen as a great honor to be roasted,
as the individual is surrounded by friends,
fans, and well-wishers, who can receive some
of the same treatment as well during
the course of the evening. The party
and presentation itself are both
referred to as a roast. The host of the
event is called the roastmaster.
Anyone who is honored in such a way
is said to have been "roasted".
