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?

It's just good natured fun. Hang on for the ride and don't take it personally.

I suspect you're right, and I'll have to keep all my fun zot stuff under wraps while we educate the young one.

My sister, happily was not bitten by a moose, but some folks may find their beeber-like device will stune the shortly.

Hugh. Series.

Alas and alack.

English is the ultimate bastard-hybrid language.
"schadenfreude" works just fine.
