Increasingly common in the age of overly creative chefs, this is that special satisfaction or pleasure at another person’s unfortunate frozen dessert choice.
What’d you order?
I got one scoop each of Spamberry Crunch, Blueberry Borscht, and Pizza Dough.
Ha! Sucker! I got chocolate and vanilla.
You’re enjoying my disgust too much, this is classic Schadenfroyo.
Do you think I should get the Natto’n Honey, Pralines and Bream, or Whirled Peas?
Try them all! I feel some Schadenfroyo coming on.

Get the schadenfroyo mug.etceterizing (verb) *et· ce· ter· iz· ing | \ et-ˈse-tə-rī-zing *
The act of adopting a sing-song or melodic cadence, where rhythm shifts from speaking to singing just before listing multiple items. This vocal modulation is often used to express tediousness or monotony, humorously embellishing or truncating the narration of a list. Etceterizing has largely replaced the once common use of "etcetera" in spoken language, offering a more lively way to imply that what you're saying might be considered obvious by the audience.

Alice: "For the picnic, I’ve got SANDwiches, SAlads, COOKies, and all the usual STUFF."
Bob: "Love how you etceterize; it makes the list sound so much more Seinfeldian!"
Dan: "This week, we're looking at data ANALYSIS, client FEEDBACK, and a whole slew of administrative TASKS."
Sara: "You really know how to etceterize the tedious parts, making them sound less DREARY!"
Doctor: "As for your treatment options, we're considering chemoTHERAPY, radiATION, and possibly some selective ampuTATION, depending on your initial reSPONSES."
Patient: "Doc, this is no time for etceterizing."
