Patronising a*** in the torygraph

[Andythered]

"The Liverpool fans gathering in the Portuguese capital this morning may not be aware of the concept but they know what schadenfreude feels like".

 

Thank you Tim Rich. In fact I am aware of a feeling called schadenfreude (not a concept) and I get it whenever I read patent drivel written by poor journalists stereotyping groups of football fans. I take pleasure in the fact that you are such a poor writer and thinker.

To be fair, I never knew what it meant.

[ManxRed]

Is there a word for it in German though?

[stonty]

Pronounced "sha-den-froy-der" from German Schaden (harm) & Freude (joy)

 

They use it quite often in The Simpson's, usually with Lisa rebuking Homer.

 

We should work it into a song and to hell with the sh*te patronising journalistic scum.

nor did i but i think he could have made his point better!

 

he went on to say

 

Having knocked Manchester United out of the FA Cup at the weekend, nothing would sharpen their feelings of superiority more than beating the side who humiliated Sir Alex Ferguson in the Champions League.

 

How about starting with "Sir Alex Ferguson says that Liverpool are a team of limited style, but their supporters will be keenly aware their team has another opportunity tonight to demonstrate that they have reclaimed bragging rights from their arch-enemies."

Ah, but that would have meant reporting using a degree of thought process rather than bowel movements.

[David Hodgson]

I think we've just taken our paranoia about the media to a new level.

 

Just because 90% of people on internet football forums are middle class swots who may well know what 'Schadenfeude' means (literally : shameful joy ), doesn't indicate that the average ignorant oik, on the street, has a fu*kin scooby-doo what it means.

[Mike]

i've no idea what it means but i'd love it if that c*** got run over

We should work it into a song and to hell with the sh*te patronising journalistic scum.

 

We could sing it to the tune of 'Who are yer'. Anything to stop fans singing 'Who are yer'.

That would certainly be joy at someone else's misfortune. Wish there was a word for that...
