Yes, he said "Freudenschade."
 

LOL, I hadn't heard that one before. OK, DU and neologisms. (definition 3a. seems most appropriate here)

ne·ol·o·gism (n-l-jzm)  
n.
  1. A new word, expression, or usage.
  2. The creation or use of new words or senses.
  3. Psychology.
    1. The invention of new words regarded as a symptom of certain psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia.
    2. A word so invented.

That is too funny! I'm going to have to remember that one. Schade means anything in German.
