"schadenfreude"

scha·den·freu·de (shäd“n-froi”d…) n. Pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. [German : Schaden, damage (from Middle High German schade, from Old High German scado) + Freude, joy (from Middle High German vreude, from Old High German frewida, from fr½, happy).]

A lovely word.

Thanks! Freude...That word I know, just had not seen "fruede"..probably just mis-spelled..
