The word is spreading!! I'm surprised she didn't mention FR, though.

Schadenfreude Bump!

[KarlInOhio]

In short, schadenfreude was verboten. Verboten wasn’t verboten. Neither was “angst,” nor a bevy of words borrowed from foreign languages. Decolletage? Derriere? Carte blanche? Carpe diem? Gesundheit? All acceptable.

Even children in kindergarten learn about schadenfreude.

Then I devised a plan. I’d sneak the word into a quote, with questions like this: “Would you say this whole thing reeks of s chadenfreude?” Unfortunately, most of the people I talk to are council members, cranks and kooks. “Huh?” they’d reply.

Inadvertent insight into how the mind of a journalist works!

It tells you something about a culture when it has a single word to describe something complex. Of course, Germans could product a single word of twenty-nine syllables to describe pretty much anything.

Then there's Russian, with long tongue twisters for everything, until you get to a two letter word for cabbage soup.

Leave it to the Germans to come up with one word for, "the enjoyment of someone else's suffering"

i've been feeling intense schadenfreude every time i watch howard dean open his mouth, screaming invectives and revealing the soul of the demo party.

every time i hear glen beck play the audio of hillary shrieking at that convention, i revel in anticipation of her presidential campaign.

awaiting the publication of "Their Lives: The Women Targeted by the Clinton Machine," schadenfreude, though unsolicited, beckons me, whispering seductively in my ear, "pain, misery, punishment will walk hand in hand with those who ruined the lives of those less powerful.

schadenfreude. a word i learned in the nineties.

I'm surprised she didn't mention FR, though.

And I'll bet she doesn't realize, when she uses the word "the", just how much we use it here, too.
