    “Schaudenfraude” should be used much more often when it comes to sports.

    For example. “Schaudenfraude over the Cowboys losing in the first round”

    “Pecuniary” and “Pusillanimous” too.
    For example “the pecuniary habits of the Rockets ownership led to a pusillanimous performance on the court.”

    I actually used that in a sentence a week or two ago.


    And then immediately felt like a huge nerd.

    I've always been fond of the word "shenanigans". I try and use it every so often.
