Zer0th:
Uhm, we don't have this word in Germany. But we do have now :)
Thanks for this word, I like it.


Cheers

Llewellian:
Not quite... but we germans normally have a word for everything...or if not, borrow it from other languages.

Ok. "Schadenfroh / Schadenfreude"

1. Malicious enjoyment derived from observing someone else's misfortune; schadenfreude.
2. Satisfaction derived when an individual has misfortune for disregarding rules or conventions.
3. Gleeful in the downfall of others (i.e. one's enemies)

Not quite fitting. Buuutt...

What we have too is "Zerstörungsorgie" (Destruction-orgy)

1. Getting a kick out of the total destruction of other peoples goods
2. Getting aroused during smashing every constructed thing around you or watching others do that.

Pengupower:
My first instinct is that it is a play on words on Schadenfreude.  I like the new word better.  Hopefully an excuse will come up in conversation at some point in the near future to use it.

leche:
Yeah, its kinda cool.
Either i will use this or "DAAAAAAAAAANG" ;)

snubnose:
Zerstörungsorgie is just mayhem in english.

There. Same meaning, shorter word.

So I dont see whats so special or why the english would need to lend a word for it.
