Schadenfreude

Postby Statler » Thu Dec 11, 2014 7:35 pm

Schadenfreude (/ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdə/; German: [ˈʃaːdn̩ˌfʀɔɪ̯də] ( )) is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.[1] This word is taken from German and literally means 'harm-joy.' It is the feeling of joy or pleasure when one sees another fail or suffer misfortune. It is also borrowed by some other languages.


The above word and definition applies to all anti-Tiki coach pony fan people. :D

And TCU/BU being left out of playoff, Texas sucking, Tech having a 4-8 season and Cougar High firing their coach. :lol:

Schadenfreude is half the fun of being a college football fan.

There's not an Auburn fan that doesn't love seeing Alabama lose a game.

There's not a Florida fan that isn't hoping that Oregon beats Florida State.

Half the enjoyment of seeing Ole Miss beat Mississippi State was knowing that their greatest season ever basically ended on a sour note (they'll win the Orange Bowl but most of their fans will only remember losing to Ole Miss).
