Pronunciation: shool-de-shahd-n-froi-duh

Sentence: Kathy'd thought of herself as a "mean girl" so her schuldeschadenfreude at Betty's car accident (Betty'd always flaunted that Mercedes!) was something of a shock.

Etymology: Basically a compound German word, this is based on a combination of "Schuld" (guilt) and "Schadenfreude" (pleasure at the misfortune of others) which is an already accepted, and surprisingly rarely used word in the English language.

Pronunciation: GILT-ehn-froyd

Etymology: schadenfreude (pleasure at the misfortune of others) with guilt.

COMMENTS:

Susan probably Jung her head in shame, and ate her favourite comfort food Pavlova to get over it. - petaj, 2007-03-23: 03:11:00

After she had her nosh, she Alder Goethe church, but she Kant, having recently come to doubt the whole issue of transnubstantiation. Poor Susan, she just needs a little zensistence. - Alchemist, 2007-03-23: 07:39:00

The gold maker has completely lost me. How many more unoriginals will go down the whole Schadenfreude or sad- route? Sorry, my subconscious says I'm craving sexual attention... - Bulletchewer, 2007-03-23: 10:54:00

Jung, Pavlov, Freud, Alder, Kant, and Goethe all major contributers to psychology/psychiatry. and actually it is tough to improve on schadenfreude, it is such a great word already... - Alchemist, 2007-03-23: 15:16:00

I do wonder if your Guiltenfreunde is that married chick you're seeing on the side... - catgrin, 2007-03-23: 19:21:00

And there was deluded old me thinking Goethe was the German Shakespeare and Kant a philospher. I always had "Schade" as meaning "shame", so your word is pretty much the same as Schadenfreude. - Bulletchewer, 2007-03-23: 20:24:00

From wikipedia for "Gestalt" - The idea of Gestalt has its roots in theories by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Immanuel Kant, and Ernst Mach. Also, the roots of of schadenfreude are as follows: Schaden means "harm" and freude means "joy"...perhaps you have heard of "the google"... - Alchemist, 2007-03-23: 21:37:00

So Kant and Goethe as "major contributors" to psychology is misleading. Jung and Freud, they are "major"; but Goethe and Kant are primarily writers/philosophers with much broader interests. And "Schade" (n denotes plural) has connotations of pity/shame and does not merely mean "harm". - Bulletchewer, 2007-03-24: 06:57:00

sorry you don't agree that gestalt psychology was a major development. connotations of pity/shame (not guilt) are not supported by linguistic origins...I think you are guiltenfreude of purple voodoo on this... - Alchemist, 2007-03-24: 14:48:00

Hull! who'd have thought a little jest would get Bulletchewer ready for a Rogers. Maybe a little Gardnering might relieve the Strauss ;-) - petaj, 2007-03-25: 04:31:00

Oh and that's Anselm not Johann or Richard. - petaj, 2007-03-25: 04:35:00

Schade dass du kein Deutsch versteht! Being minor contribitors to a theory which is so important most people have never heard of it hardly makes you a major piece on the chessboard of psychology. Hell it barely makes you a pawn. Seriously, check the German again. Why do they say "Schade" to mean "what a pity"? Oh sorry, you're the expert on all things Deutsch, so I must be wrong. - Bulletchewer, 2007-03-25: 06:37:00

And *I* say that forty-TWO angels can dance on the head of a pin!!! So there! - Alchemist, 2007-03-25: 09:22:00
