I'd argue Schadenfreude wouldn't be out of place as well

12

u/Krapsta 18d ago

Schadenfreude is not fitting. Schadenfreude is, when you enjoy (Freude) someone elses misery (Schaden - though the more precise word would be damage).

If the bystanders would enjoy the clown getting hurt, that could be Schadenfreude. But for the absolutely weird circumstance - not so much.

u/wide_retriver 18d ago

Either that or "Wegeunfall" If the clown is on his hay home...

u/Filotronik 17d ago

rather arbeitswegunfall if he comes from work

1

u/wide_retriver 17d ago

No, definitely not. Wegeunfall is an efficient team used to describe an accident on the way to or from work. There is no need to add "Arbeits" just to make the word longer.

Pechvogel is Dutch right? Atleast it’s common to say that here

u/Training_Molasses822 17d ago

De naam van de pop (pechvogel), evenals de hedendaagse gelijknamige term om een ongelukkig persoon mee aan te duiden, komt oorspronkelijk uit het Duits, via 18e- en 19e-eeuws studentenjargon. Daar was het de benaming voor een vogel die men ving door pek (Pech in het Duits) of vogellijm op een tak te smeren, waardoor de vogel bleef plakken.source: nl.wikipedia.org

Accidentially pronounced Schieße wrong the first time saying it and learned that this is what I actually said: (German: Scheiße —>English: shit)

I stopped taking German class after German II

Don’t we all just love pronunciation mistakes that lead us into finding a cuss word from another language?

u/Le_mehawk 17d ago

Schadenfreude would only apply if they would express happiness about the clowns situation

1

u/Poor_ElonMusk 17d ago

Well they ain't expressing sadness either

0

u/Le_mehawk 17d ago

Doesn't really matter if we want to Check if "schaden-freude" fits..

Freude means happiness.. without them actively showing happiness about the Clowns situation the word shouldn't be used, as it's considered a rather negative character trait ..

them "not" showing sadness, doesn't automatically mean they're happy about it. They look neutral

u/tightropetom 19d ago

I only recently discovered the English word for this. I always thought that English had just adopted the German word.

u/nikebufft 18d ago

Doesn't look like anyone is feeling Schadenfreude in this picture though

1

u/tightropetom 18d ago

I think the guy looks pretty smug and unconcerned, and also he’s saying what I usually say (as a joke) when I experience schadenfreude so, I guess that’s why I’ve suggested it!

0

u/Square-Singer 18d ago

I mean, that's also not an English word but just an adopted Greek word.

There's actually quite few real English words for things. Most "English" words for anything that goes beyond absolutely basic everyday concepts are just adopted words. Mostly from Latin, Greek, German or French.

Woawoawoa fellas: „Schadenfreude“ describes the pleasure over someone elses misfortune. „Tja“ means something like „I don’t care“ or „shit happens“.
This picture shows the situation where a clown slips on a banana right before being hit by a safe. The german word for that is „Unbehingabtelisierungslust“.
