schadenfriend

A friend who is obviously inferior to you in every way and you keep to lift your self esteem. Portmanteau of schadenfruede and friend.

I only hang out with him so I can feel better about myself. He is my schadenfriend.

schadenfreude 

German word, original translation loosely comes out as 'malicious joy'. In English, it's thought of 'malicious enjoyment from the suffering of another'. As there is no succinct English version of the word, English-speaking peoples have approximated this word and use it whenever they see people like corrupt CEOs get dragged off to jail.

Did you see that look on Fastow's face as he was told he couldn't take soap-on-a-rope to the lockup? Man, I felt a warm, comforting sense of schadenfreude in my gut when I saw it...

When LeBron James and the Miami Heat lost the 2011 NBA finals, all of Cleveland reached a schadenfreudegasm.

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!"
