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?

Yes.
But there's the tradition of the hazing and initiation rights.

The grand meeting of the order of the Bretheren and Sisteren In Chaos inc, LLC shall come to order...
We have a pledge who has not yet undergone the initiation rights.
What shall the appointed task be?

I can't trace my parents back to Sicily, either...mostly cause their ancestors came here from Scotland and England before 1800....

Skipped lunch or not, there's never a bad time for a good schnitzel.
