Meaning Of The Word Mock

Mark my word. "Mock my word," is sort of amusing, but beside the point, right? "Mark," in this case, means notice or pay attention, as if the word were underlined or marked for emphasis. So it's an expression that basically suggests that the speaker is drawing a line or circle around a suggestion or comment so that, if proven right, there's evidence...there are the "marked words," along with the irresistible chance to gloat.

Actually the phrase is "mark my word" which means "you'll see I'm right"

'Mock my words' is a perfectly good phrase. It means 'please make fun of me'. (though I'm not sure thats really what you wanted - the more common expression has already been explained)

That should be "mark my word" and they're telling you to take heed and pay close attention to what you're saying, they mean business!
