I see that word all over the place.

It’s got to be the stupidest word in the English language. Well, I mean if it was in the English language!!

I’m not sure what it means, but whatever it is, it can’t possibly make any sense!!

Germans oughta stick to beer and blondes and forget about literature.

It means taking pleasure in someone else's misfortune. There is no exact English equivalent and I think it's a great addition to the English language.

It’s kinda like it means this: “that’s so sad... hehehe...” (Sad-Happy)

And to be honest, English is the absolute collection center of words from every language on the planet from Barbecue to Yosemite... English takes what works and makes it its own...
