schadenfreude

pleasure derived from others' troubles.

although "schadenfreude" seems widely known I've never heard it being used in casual conversation.

Probably it's more the problem of not knowing how to pronounce it. I've heard "skäidenfruhd," for instance :)

Schadenfreude

Watching a vegetarian being told she just ate chicken

Or watching a frat boy realize just what he put his dick in

Being on the elevator when somebody shouts "Hold the door!"

Straight-A students getting Bs

Exes getting STDs

Waking doormen from their naps

Watching tourists reading maps

Football players getting tackled

CEOs getting shackled

Watching actors never reach the ending of their oscar speech!

"Fuck you lady, that's what stairs are for!"

Schecking Out

To express extreme emotion towards an individual or inanimate object, such as a rock or wall. This can happen without warning and leads to everyone calling it an early night. Symptoms include crying, yelling, punching, and a loss of self-worth. Comparable to freaking out, but with an added dimension of anger and frustration.

Did you hear about the guy at the party last night, he was schecking out on the beer pong table.
