Watching MAGA lose it over Mike Jonhson is the drug I didn't know I needed. Uncut schadenfreude.

I suspect the use of the term 'schadenfreude' exploded in the English-speaking world in 1991, after the airing of The Simpsons episode "When Flanders Failed" (Season 3 Ep 3) - see attached clip.

'Boy, those Germans have a word for everything!'

There's some German loan words in English: rucksack, ersatz, poltergeist, zeitgeist, angst, kitsch, and -- my favorite -- flak.

IMHO 'Gesundheit' is far superior to 'Bless you' as a response to someone sneezing.
