    Default Snarkenfreude

    About 10 months ago, I started a thread about (n. pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others), a German word that I learned from a friend who married/divorced a German guy.

    Recently, I discovered a related word on the Internet, snarkenfreude. According to the esteemed UrbanDictionary.com , is derived from the words "snark" (a word that comes from the combination of "snide" and "remark") and "schadenfreude."

    Snarkenfreude means not only do you enjoy someone else's suffering or mishaps but you quip (or write)--usually within the sufferer's earshot (or vision)--snide comments at their expense.

    Recently, I've had some fleeting but intense rushes of snarkenfreude on SW. Like "schadenfreude", Snarkenfreude is arguably shameful--but it still feels fucking good!

    Am I alone with this, or are others on SW experiencing snarkenfreude?

    Well, most all of the public members of the site have been really supportive of me. I made a bad choice and am suffering the consequences.

    I was actually just joking when I made my original post. I'm sort of surprised that you actually are delighted that I was arrested and humiliated by police officers, but whatever.

    (Sigh!)

    I was under the mistaken impression that we were having a "tongue-in-cheek" exchange about my original post.

    Tongue-in-cheek is a term used to refer to humor in which a statement is not meant to be taken seriously.

    Beyond that, I'm not sure what I can write without offending you further...

    Sorry, I thought you were being serious. I apologize. I'm a stressball right now.

    I am totally with you there.

    In fact, all of this stupid snarkenfreude is the main reason why most of the good, long-term members have left for greener pastures. And the only reason I am here sometimes is because old habits die hard.
