Oh, that is so schadenfraud!

Um, "Schadenfreude" is what you meant. "Schaden" means "Damage" or "Too bad", "Freude" is "joy". Put them together and you get the joy of someone else's pain.

"Fraud" doesn't mean anything.

Yeah I realized that afterwards, but maybe I was combining the German word schaden with the english word fraud. Damage the fraud?

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Besides, shouldn't that word be in the spellcheck?

;-)
