...that the Germans have a word for when songs get stuck in your head? It's ohrwurm... and it translates to "ear worm". Fascinating, huh? Find out more here.
The German's also have a word for an emotion that translates in English as the sort of delight you get in someone else's misfortune, it is called Shadenfruede. lol isn't that wicked?
That was just mean! And her majesty even knows what your feeling is called in German. (I watched the whole video, though. Can't wait to try out a few new moves.)
I'm a career Youth Ministry Coordinator, now serving as a Pastoral Ministry Managers in the largest Collaborative in the Boston area...married to the Best YM in the Archdiocese. On my office bulletin board, an illustration from St. Joseph's Baltimore Catechism shows two boys wearing baseball mitts looking out a window. One says "Too bad it's raining." The other replies, "When we accept things like this from God without complaining, it helps to clean the selfishness out of our souls."
That just cracks me up.
