Learn Something New

Posted by TheyWearTheBlue&Gold on April 14, 2015 at 12:00pm

I know this is kind of off topic from anything currently being discussed and I have deservedly placed it in Trash Blogs.

That said when talking with a friend today he taught me a new word (surprisingly it's a German word go figure).

schadenfreude

[shahd-n-froi-duh]

noun

1. satisfaction or pleasure felt at someone else's misfortune.

I then scrolled down to the next word definition and saw this:

schadenforan
ˈʃɑːd(ə)nˌfor(ə)n,

noun:
1. pleasure derived by someone from the misfortune of manly supporters

That is all, carry on :D

  Hence why it is called a WETsuit and not a DRYsuit.

  And of course if you wore undies they would get wet whilst you were "warming up" your wetsuit.

  In the case of a virgin it would definitely be the road less travelled.
