Schadenfreude is the correct german word.
The Danes do have our own word that covers the same : skadefryd.

[nosh]

skadefryd.

@ Stoic Joker:
Schadenfreude (likely incorrectly written, because my German is very "rusty") is the word you are looking for.

As I understand German is the only language (brave enough) to have a word for what you just described.

-Shades (July 24, 2012, 11:04 AM)

here's another nice German word without an English equivalent - for what I reckon is a fairly universal experience:

Futterneidish: literally Food-envious;
where you think the other person got a bigger or better portion of food than you did. (Or maybe you're not even hungry but feel like eating just because they are, and you get vaguely envious of that...)

Actually I found #1 (Desenrascanco) rather interesting considering I'm half Portuguese ... and tend to function best in chaos. One of my favorite sayings is: The only thing you can plan on is that nothing will go according to plan.

I'm Portuguese and I can tell you 100%: improvisation is NOT one of the most valued skills here, especially when it's tied to lack of organization! Also, this lack of method and organization is probably one of the causes for our country to be in financial difficulties right now, in fact

[edit] I'm taking this too seriously, though. Hoping for cracked to provide some real facts is idiotic [/edit]

Nice compilation. Bakku-shan is remarkably similar to butterface.

Esprit d'escalier is a term I recall from Palahniuk's Guts [very NSFW, definitely not reading for the faint-hearted.]

I'll go through the rest of that list once I catch a few winks.

In an extraordinary case of jealousy, a Nigerian man - husband of six - was allegedly raped to death by his five spouses as he was paying too much attention to his sixth wife in east-central Benue state.

Uroko Onoja, a wealthy businessman, was having sex with his youngest wife when the other five women attacked him with knives and sticks, demanding that he have sex with all of them at once.

A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral.

A huge heart covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service. Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside. The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever.

At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter. When confronted, he said, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking of my own funeral. You see I'm a gynecologist."

At that point, the proctologist fainted.

Into a Belfast pub comes Paddy Murphy, looking like he'd just been run over by a train.
His arm is in a sling, his nose is broken, his face is cut and bruised and he's walking with a limp
"What happened to you?" asks Sean, the bartender.
"Jamie O'Conner and me had a fight," says Paddy.
"That little shit, O'Conner," says Sean, "He couldn't do that to you, He must have had something in his hand."
"That he did," says Paddy, "a shovel is what he had, and a terrible lickin' he gave me with it."
"Well," says Sean, "you should have defended yourself, didn't you have something in your hand?"
That I did," said Paddy.
"Mrs. O'Conner's breast, and a thing of beauty it was, but useless in a fight."

Reminds me of the old Dave Allen at Large TV show. That was great~!

Reminds me of my old days with a penguin book of Englishman Irishman Scotsman jokes.

Oh god... You CANNOT make this shit up~!

Get ready... to piss yourself. Oh, and that only applies to the ladies here -- not the guys. Seriously...

http://www.shewee.com/

Shewee is the award winning portable urinating device for women. Shewee allows women to urinate whilst standing and without removing clothes.

Shewee and its complimentary product range are ideal products for camping, travelling, festivals, long car journeys, and any kind of outdoor pursuit where the toilet facilities are absent or less than desirable.

Shewee is easy to use, discreet, reusable, lightweight and it fits in a pocket.

Shewee is available on NHS prescription for all types of medical purposes.

Shewee is NATO approved and supplied to armed forces worldwide.

Now while the guys here may piss themselves laughing, the girls can piss themselves standing up~!

But I think the real test of the Shewee is whether or not it lets your write your name in the snow.

The writing's on the lawn.

A computer company arranged to hold its annual Christmas corporate function for staff at an old stately home in the hills of Scotland. The owner of the stately home was a Peer in the House of Lords, who had a much younger and very attractive wife.

Amongst the personnel of the computer company was a man called Alan, who was known for his womanising ways.

The computer company's corporate function went off extremely well, with much drinking, socialising and jollity.

The next year, the computer company CEO wrote to the Peer and asked if they could hold their next Christmas function there, since the first one had been such a success and they had all had such a great time. The Peer sent a letter back saying that he'd be very happy to oblige the request under the same terms as before, but asked that the company please refrain from sending any member of their staff who was called "Alan".

Intrigued, the CEO phoned up the Peer and asked, "What was the reason for your request not to send anyone called "Alan"? There is only one member of staff by that name."

The Peer replied, "Well, in the morning after your function, written in urine in the snow on the croquet lawn were the words, 'Piss off Bertie. Yours, Alan.' - and my name is Bertie, you see."

The CEO was acutely embarrassed, "Goodness me! I didn't realise that he had done that. What a rude thing to do! I do apologise. I shall speak with him about it."

The Peer replied, "Well, you don't need to tick him off about it - I didn't want him punished. It's just that I don't want him there, exposed to any further temptation. You see, I recognised it as being in my wife's handwriting!"

Have you heard the joke: "What did the dyslexic atheist do after being bitten by a dog?"
If so, where was it and what was the punchline?

[IainB]

@Arizona Hot: You might have it (the words) a bit wrong. It's probably one of the many jokes about dyslexics. Here, from my database of collected jokes:
_____________________________
Did you hear about the dyslexic, atheist insomniac?
He stayed up all night wondering if there really was a Dog.
_____________________________
Did you hear about the dyslexic Christian? A: He used to pray to his dog each night.
_____________________________
Did you hear about the dyslexic Rabbi? A: He walks around saying, "Yo".
_____________________________
A dyslexic man walks into a bra.
_____________________________
Did you hear about the dyslexic alcoholic?
He choked on his own vimto.
_____________________________
Dyslexia means never having to say that you're yrros.
_____________________________
In New York today, two dyslexic bank robbers ran into a bank shouting, "Air in the hands motherstuckers, this is a fickup!"
_____________________________
Dyslexic signwriter.
A slightly dyslexic signwriter was putting up a sign for a new shop called BRAT'S, but the sign read "PRAT'S".  The signwriter had just finished when the owner came out to check the sign.

"You can't put that there!" said the owner, appalled at the mistake.

"Why? What's wrong with it?" said the dyslexic signwriter.

"You got it wrong, you've put P...R...A...T...'S  - it should be B...R...A...T...'S !" he spelt out.

"Oh my god!" exclaimed the dyslexic signwriter in great agitation.

"What's so awful?  You only have to correct the first letter!" said the owner.

"That's not the problem, I've just come from doing a new sign for the LONDON BRICK company!"
