Schedenfreude
schadenfreude\SHOD-n-froy-duh\ , noun;
1.A malicious satisfaction obtained from the misfortunes of others
Someone on Facebook used this word when talking about Kate Gosselin on Dancing with the Stars, and how awful she is. I had never heard this word before, but I must say that I don't like it. It's not very nice.
And that's just all I'm going to say about that.
