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?

I propose that we give the poster of this thread a series answer:
The new English word for the German 'Schadenfreude' should henceforth be 'Kumquat'...
