schadenfreude - \SHOD-n-froy-duh\, noun:
A malicious satisfaction obtained from the misfortunes of others.
So I was surfing this morning, I mean, uh, performing research for an in-depth analysis of the links between soy milk and gayness. Somehow I wound up on this guy Timmy's blog-- Timmy from Haight-Ashbury, who claims at the top of his blog, "Yes, I am that Tim." So I was intrigued about what Timmy meant by "that Tim" --no, he's not the one with Lassie like I hoped-- but his post was kind of funny: "Soy Bean or Lez-Bean." Chortle.
Anyway, my new word discovery came from his listed interests: blondes, politics, wine, tea and schadenfreude.
(It's not what I thought it was.)
