Schadenfreude
N/A
Posted on 03/03/2005 10:23:50 AM PST by Right Wing It
I was unaware up until this point that there was a German word meaning "happiness at the misfortune of others" The Word is "SCHADENFREUDE". What makes it ironic is that it is the only national language in the world to have a word for such a subject. Who else thinks there should be an American word for this?

You should also know that here at FR we take our Schadenfreude pretty frickin' seriously.

One of my favorite schadenfreudische experiences is watching trolls get the zot.
Do you smell ozone?

Speaking of the FR poll, I had to choose Pass/Undecided because there is no box for "I will have to check with my wife"

Many FReepers are about to take great joy in the abuse you are about to receive.

We have many adopted words from other languages.
I say we adopt this German word. Now tell me how to pronounce it.

I don't think he's a troll.
An ignorant pugnacious n00b, sure.
But not a troll.

I am torn whether to point out that is enough time to have learned not to post something like this, or that 2 whole months really isn't very long.
