Schaden-fraud

Anyone who tells you that there is no English word for what the Germans call “schadenfreude”, the deriving of joy, pleasure, or satisfaction from the misfortune or failure of another person.

The word is “Epicaricacy”, but only people who know how to think, use a dictionary or google know it, and know that those who make that claim are lazy fools pretending to be part of an “in-crowd” of dunces.

A Schaden-fraud is typically someone of low intellect, who believes everything they hear.

Man #1: Dude, Mary was feeling some real schadenfreude when her bitch roommate crashed her new Honda on her way to the prom.
Man #2: Hmmph.
Man #1: Um, you do know what schadenfreude means don’t you? It’s a German word and there is no English …
Man #2: It means epicaricacy, and why the hell are you speaking German when you’re Irish and grew up on Long Island, fool?! Look it up, you damn Schaden-fraud!
Man #1: Doh!
