sweets
as a german guy i´m surprised to see that schadenfreude is understood. but we also have kindergarten. and blitzkrieg. and zeitgeist. in this order. so heres my story. as a kid we had this nice idiot in the summercamp. everybody got a postal paket with sweets. except this guy. but some day it arrived. it was the biggest one i ever saw. on the way back to the tent he promised to give everybody some sweets. as i said he was a really nice idiot. opening it with 30 kids nearby he read the message "hi chistian. we couldn´t read your handwriting but we hope you asked for the included pillow". poor guy. the camp went on for 5 more days. kids are assholes. me too. i think thats the way how hannibal lectors are created.

There's a cute German bloke at work
and one of my colleagues asked me if I knew any German words to impress him with.

I suggested 'spitfire', which is surely the same in German as in English. She was disgusted.

We spent the rest of the day murmuring 'spitfire!' at each other and giggling.

Interestingly
I thought ziggurat would be a German word but it's not. However, whilst researching that, I found that "zig-zag" comes from the German "zickzack"

Yeah.. weirdly as we have our own word for it in English: Epicaricacy. But I think the Americans stole Schadenfreude and we got it from them!
