pumpenfreude

Noun. Extreme pleasure derived by an electric cars owner who drive by gas stations, watching owners of fossil-fuel vehicles standing around squeezing gas and diesel filler nozzles. Notably powerful sensation during intense rain or hail. Likely to become more common as we approach 2050.

Origin: German Pumpenfreude, from Pumpen 'pumping" + Freude 'joy'.

Pump and Dump

"Beating retards at a game they don't know how to play and then LYING AND STEALING when you're too stupid to win" ~ Hym Iam

Hym "Hey! I want to pump and dump too! I want pump and dump Trump's daughter. If I can pump and dump Trump's daughter... You don't have to pay for the AI. But, seriously, maintain the tariffs and don't negotiate. He is clearly trying to screw over the American populus. AND... Upwards of 20 kids have been murder explicitly because I have been ignored! If you asked the Uvadle shooter what he wrote on the board in blood... What would he say?"
