Schadenmitgefühl

is a modern German neologism that combines Schadenfreude (“joy at another’s misfortune”) with Mitgefühl (“compassion, empathy”).

It describes the paradoxical feeling of taking a measured satisfaction in someone else’s suffering while simultaneously feeling genuine compassion for them. In other words, it’s the experience of both recognizing or even enjoying the justice, irony, or inevitability of another’s setback and still empathizing with their pain.

When the self centered girl used her ex-husband and he finally blocked her, I felt a strange mix of schadenfreude and pity – a genuine Schadenmitgefühl.

Schadenfafo

Etymology: Blend of schadenfreude (German, ‘pleasure derived from another’s misfortune’) + fuck around and find out (colloquial American expression meaning that reckless actions bring their own consequences).

Definition:

The deliciously petty pleasure you feel when people reap the bitter harvest of the nonsense they enthusiastically sowed. Especially applies to Donald Trump voters who cheered for policies that end up smacking them squarely in the face.

When they lost their health care because of the guy they voted for, you could cut the schadenfafo with a knife.
