How do you make satire a verb?

You can't really make "satire" a verb in the traditional sense. It's already a noun, meaning "the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices."

However, you can use "satirize" as a verb, which means "to criticize someone or something using satire."

Here are some examples:

* "The cartoonist satirized the politician's recent gaffe."

* "The author satirized the absurdities of modern life in her new novel."

You can also use the phrase "to satirize something" or "to satirize someone" to convey the same meaning:

* "The play aimed to satirize the hypocrisy of the wealthy elite."

* "The comedian was known for satirizing the news."

So, while "satire" itself isn't a verb, "satirize" is the verb you can use to express the act of using satire.
