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?

My wife accidentaly made up a word recently. " ill relevant" I cringed when I saw it in a letter she had alredy sent. But I am starting you get my tongue around it and quietly introducing it into conversations. I think it means something that may be somewhat relevant but inapropriate, as opposed to not relevant in any way. Because the schoolyard bullies are hitting on you so hard, I am giving it to you, free.

At $2/pancake, I'd owe Meek around $40.

Well, let's see:
I see a donkey in the foreground, kind of puzzled look on his face. It's a clear day, so probably a southern location. In the background, I'm guessing a base of some kind. Shoosting (insert picture of Lisa Douglas) out of the base launching pad appears to be a rocket inserted in another donkey/donkette. Relatively free of penis-like creatures you are so apt to ping me to, and other than the second donkey/donkette's obvious discomfort, I'd say it was a pretty funny picture.
Now, at the risk of getting the old pie in the face, what am I supposed to see? I just know I'm gonna be sorry I asked.... Also, what's sticking out of the donkey's head?

The French can probably translate it directly, without idioms.
