Schadenfreude is amusment of other peoples misfortunes without any sexual implications. That is how I have always used it but I could be wrong and there are some very good wordsmiths who contribute to this forum and I could be corrected. Also many writers will always use schadenfreude with a capital S | Dally (6292) | ||

Schaden is shame, and freude is joy, so it literally means taking pleasure from other people's discomfort. My missus says it's rather typical of the Germans' sense of humour. | Greg (193) | ||
