The ex wife felt schadenfreude when she managed to steal her ex husband back from the girlfriend he cheated on her with while they were married. She thought wickedly "What goes around comes around!"
Schadenfreude: oh yeah it's a word. Your word of the day to test your vocabulary skills and to let your creativity shine by using it in a sentence. ( derived from Germany, not sure ...but apparently there isn't an English word that is comparable.)?
I love the feeling of schadenfreude, altho sometimesd I feel guilty if i enjoy it too much.
Interesting fact or two:
Damage or harm + Pleasure or joy = Schadenfreude (taking pleasure in the misfortune of others)
And from Wikipedia---
The word gained popularity in English in the late 20th c. And likely entered mainstream usage through an episode of The Simpsons
When the neighborhood bully broke his arm and leg, the mass schadenfreude was undeniable.
