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?

Clams, schnitzel, cheese, moose (or is that meese)?

I like Hamburger Helper spaghetti, but I have to say that the 'beef pasta' flavor is the best variety.

I can't remember what they are called but there is a pacific northwest variety of clam that looks like it is a big schlong. real gross looking, but apparently very tasty.

There was a thread about a month abo that was about pecker-clam rustlers. B and Cyborg may remember the name of the clam.

I don't care for Germans much; they remind me of Yankees.

Don't worry about it actually.
Just chin up, and laugh.
I got hazed back when I signed up, and it's somewhat tradition.

Heck, there's threads that have become humor threads, like "Unnngh..." and the origin of Stuned and Beeber threads.
