Germans have a word

Lisa: Dad, do you know what Schadenfreude is? Homer: No, I do not know what shaden-frawde is. [sarcasm] Please tell me, because I'm dying to know. Lisa: It's a German term for 'shameful joy', taking pleasure in the suffering of others. Homer: Oh, come on Lisa. I'm just glad to see him fall flat on his butt! [getting mad] He's usually all happy and comfortable, and surrounded by loved ones, and it makes me feel... What's the opposite of that shameful joy thing of yours? Lisa: [nastily] Sour grapes. Homer: Boy, those Germans have a word for everything!

German echoes, framed

"There might be a bit of schadenfreude, to see a man who takes the moral high ground having problems himself." (Rainer Haubrich)

"If Friedman is proven to have taken cocaine, this could damage the CDU and the credibility of its zero tolerance policy on drugs" (Tim Peters)
