I have successfully found a much better website to obtain my word of the week from. Caterpillar was not really the direction I was looking to take this, so thank you Carleton College for your database of… extremely interesting words.
schadenfreude \SHAH-dn-froi-duh\ (noun)
1. Enjoyment obtained from the troubles of others
Example Sentence:
Despite herself, Jane felt a tingle of schadenfreude at her sister-in-law’s recounting of her latest woes.
I think it is safe to say we all know these people. The question is, when is the last time we have experienced this feeling?
