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?

There just aren't any good snarling girl bands anymore that you can grunge thrash to.

In my family, that would be in reference to the three of 'us kid monsters'... while we try to look all innocent with frogs hanging out of our pockets (my sis) slingshots (my brother) and various archaic weapons strewn about (me)..
