[Apparently, as commenters have, um, commented, I wasn’t the first to make this word up. But I did do it independently, and until someone can prove time traveling pundits didn’t steal from me in the future, I’ll still claiming it to be mine. Hold on, I’m getting a note… apparently I’ve already left a comment making this same joke. I guess future me read this update and used a time machine to steal this joke from present me. Sneaky.]
The other day, while commenting on Twitter about the comedy of Mike Adams’ toddler-like tantrum about skeptics and how his advice which can lead to people getting sicker or even dying should absolutely make him eligible for an Internet award, I coined a new word, and I feel that everyone should see it:
Schadenfreudelicious.
I hereby grant free license for its use. You may thank me later, as I know you will when a situation arises where you need to use this word. And it will.
In the meantime, if you are so inclined and have an established Twitter account, please vote for Rachael Dunlop for a Shorty Award. She is a good friend and a tireless fighter of quackery and alt-med health threats. You can read more about her here.
