SchadenfreudeThere's nothing like administering first aid to cyclist who has just spanged into the back of a milk float when you have tears of laughter running down your face. The world is just one long episode of You've Been Framed - when have you laughed at the misfortune of others?

Zing!In commonly used vernacular schade means shame. Just because it can mean something dissimilar, doesn't make your argument more sound.
Stop using google to try and win arguments.

can you think of a better reason to use google?
pop and plop are similar words, but mean different things. although now I think about it. . . .
plus, the description above is the etymology of a word, and the definition used earlier is exactly that.
'Joy at anothers misery' or thereabouts
not once in any definition of the word, does the German for shame seem to get a mention. I would suggest you are in error.
I am in anal mode as the original post was directed, in a large part, at me. A response was needed.
Edit. Just noticed that the original post was 3 minutes before mine, although the poster did decorate my post with a humorous reply, bless 'im
