Really? Schadenfreude deleted because it isn't English?

 

It IS now English. It's even in the dictionary http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/schadenfreude?q=Schadenfreude

If you don't think so, you had better delete:-

 

Pyjama

Veranda

Thug

Shampoo.

 

All Indian words.

There's a few thousand others that English also assimilated.

It's also in my Oxford ED which I have had for nearly fifty years.  Better delete all those words of French origin too, or 'skipper' which is Dutch etc etc

 

To Iamafarang

 

Actually the word, not so loosely,means 'malicious' pleasure.

yup, i guess so as i would be upset if my daughter were to marry an Arab or a blacky  but at least i'm not PC.

 

You're "not PC".....hmmm.  That's just another way of saying that you don't care if you offend other people.  Where I come from, that sounds like someone who's an insensitive pr*ck.  The irony is that people like that tend to be the most thin-skinned.  I'm sure I can find a way to offend you.  Then we'll see how you take it when the tables are turned.
