halfenfreude 

Reveling in personal gain associated with someone else's loss; not to be confused with schadenfreude, in which one takes pleasure from another's pain.

double halfsies

When you can't decide between two things, so you and another person (usually a friend or acquaintance) each purchase one of the desired items and you both exchange half of each item with one another.

Note: Most often done when ordering food. This way you can eat both items you want instead of ordering two meals and looking like a fat ass.
Person 1: "Man, I can't decide between the teriyaki chicken or the club."
Person 2: "Yeah, me neither."
Person 1: "Double halfsies?"
Person 2: "You read my mind."

halfternoon 

The halfway point in the afternoon. The afternoon is between 12:00 and 5:00 pm, with the halfternoon occurring at 2:30 pm. People generally have a buffer of a half hour before and after halfternoon; therefore the usage is standard between 2:00 and 3:00 pm.
Good halfternoon Peggy. Now that it is halfternoon, I am feeling less sluggish.

There is no one closer to perfect than Halie. Her eyes show mere beauty and will make you fall for her. She will have her ups and downs but she will always pull through strong. Overall the most amazing girl there is. Keep Halie close to you, losing her will be one of the most painful things that will happen to you. Also she is very good at singing.
Guy1: I got Halies number today!
Guy2: No way! Consider yourself one of the luckiest men in the world.
