      <description>Thanks Possible--but in the interest of full disclosure, I must tell you that I'm on the anti-"&lt;a href="/words/S-word"&gt;S-word&lt;/a&gt;" team myself (as many veteran Wordies already know).</description>

      <description>Oi, we're in the area of sociolinguistics here. Germans do have a deep sense of guilt and it doesn't seem at all implausible that the concept may exist in a social sense as they have described.</description>

      <description>That's a nice story, but is quite implausible, given that the root-word is "Freude", which unquestionably denotes 'joy' or 'pleasure'.</description>

      <description>Interesting reader comment to the article kindly linked by trivet:&lt;br /&gt;"I recently used &lt;a href="/words/Schadenfreude"&gt;Schadenfreude&lt;/a&gt; in the company of two native German speakers. They were emphatic that English speakers are not using the word in its precise sense. They stated that to a German speaker, &lt;a href="/words/Schadenfreude"&gt;Schadenfreude&lt;/a&gt; means feeling badly or guilty about the pleasure one feels when because of another&#8217;s misfortune. If one has no pangs of conscience or guilt when enjoying another&#8217;s misfortune, that is not, they claimed, &lt;a href="/words/Schadenfreude"&gt;Schadenfreude&lt;/a&gt;."</description>

      <description>This word turning up here today is rather &lt;a href="/words/Iroquoisy"&gt;Iroquoisy&lt;/a&gt; for me. See &lt;a href="http://www.theonion.com/content/node/36750"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; for an interesting take.</description>

      <description>I saw the meaning for this word as some girls headline a while back, and for some reason i took some interest. But to use it in a conversation; I feel dumb. Just because it sounds weird. Plus most people I know, don't even know what it means. Sometimes that becomes a bit annoying. So I stopped taking a like to it. But now for some reason, I enjoy it.</description>

      <description>After much thought, I've decided to love this word just because everyone else hates it so. That way, I can experience schadenfreude each time a Wordie squirms at its appearance...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Geez--now that I've actually used it in a sentence, I hate it even more. Never mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is it about this word?</description>

      <description>"People" is also the first six letter word on the list. I wonder what the first seven letter word is. There's apparently no easy way to find out.</description>

      <description>According to wordcount.org, which tracks the most commonly used words in English, this word ranks at 76,291. That's out of 86,800 in their database. &lt;a href="/words/Serendipity"&gt;Serendipity&lt;/a&gt;, on the other hand, happily scoots in at 54,600. Other Wordie favourites &lt;a href="/words/quixotic"&gt;quixotic&lt;/a&gt; 43,055, &lt;a href="/words/loquacious"&gt;loquacious&lt;/a&gt; 55,235 and &lt;a href="/words/ennui"&gt;ennui&lt;/a&gt; 54,693 are also modestly placed. The first semantically-loaded rather than functional word in the count is arguably &lt;a href="/words/people"&gt;people&lt;/a&gt;, ranked 81.</description>

      <description>Well. I have yet to list the infamous s-word. But how else to describe the joy that watching "Engineering Disasters" on The Hitlery channel's "Modern Marvels" brings me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could watch footage of baggage being chewed up in the infamous Denver Airport's baggage handling debacle for hours on end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does this make me a bad person?</description>

      <description>burntsox, &lt;a href="/words/quixotic"&gt;quixotic&lt;/a&gt; is only horrid if you say it the way Americans seem to, pronouncing the x as in &lt;a href="/words/espresso"&gt;espresso&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A nice faux-Spanish pronunciation, with the x like an English h, is positively poetic.&lt;br /&gt;</description>

      <description>No. 2 (quixotic) isn't so uplifting either.  Haters of the S-word are placing all our hopes on serendipity, which is fitting ... but if there were any justice, loquacious would top the site.  I'm off to do my part!</description>

      <description>"That the report of Sebastian Imhof's grave illness might also have been tinged with &lt;a href="/words/Schadenfreude"&gt;Schadenfreude&lt;/a&gt; appears not to have crossed Lucas's mind."&lt;br /&gt;- 'Flesh and Spirit', Steven Ozment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The capitalisation here is just as ugly as the word itself. Common nouns are not capitalised in English, regardless of what happens in German. Pass the bucket please.</description>

      <description>Ptero, your failure to list &lt;a href="/words/pshawdenfreude"&gt;pshawdenfreude&lt;/a&gt; will cost you Wordie points. That's a humdinger.</description>

      <description>tsk, tsk &lt;a href="/words/gangerh"&gt;gangerh&lt;/a&gt;! (Or do I mean tut-tut?)  :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't make me do it. Up until now I have not actually been guilty of listing the dreaded s-word (as far as I know). But I'm starting to feel a little like c_b, all this bashing may just force me into a solidarity listing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But - heaven forfend - far be it from me to interfere with anybody's fun. I think I was just tempted by the opportunity to say &lt;a href="/words/pshaw"&gt;pshaw&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please carry on!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;psionnach</description>

I thought about adding it to each one of my lists, just to see if it would rack up the count and tick people off (hee...) but I didn't. Yet.</description>

      <description>Oh, pshaw to this lobbying for specific words in an effort to dethrone the most commonly listed. This is not the Colbert Nation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think you guys are making far too much of this. Being most commonly listed is no more than that - it does not imply, for instance, that people like the word, or in any way consider it among their favorites. </description>

      <description>Suggestions, eh? Well, right now the #2, #3, and #4 words are &lt;a href="/words/quixotic"&gt;quixotic&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="/words/serendipity"&gt;serendipity&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="/words/loquacious"&gt;loquacious&lt;/a&gt;. All three of these have meanings that could be applied to Wordie, I think, and their popularity makes us seem like a good-natured lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If one of the three were to overtake &lt;a href="/words/schadenfreude"&gt;schadenfreude&lt;/a&gt;, I wouldn't shed a tear.</description>

      <description>I dislike the &lt;a href="/words/s-word"&gt;s-word&lt;/a&gt; because I think it's overused. As we all started discussing why we disliked it, we seemed to have given it the &lt;a href="/words/Wordie treatment"&gt;Wordie treatment&lt;/a&gt; and it became a sort of collective we-hate-this-word thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And never hesitate to ask. No one will kick you off Wordie. (Well, John &lt;em&gt;could&lt;/em&gt;, but he's not that kind of dictator.)</description>

      <description>If only 50 people had listed the word, I think the dislike would be much less intense. But the top rank combined with the meaning says something a bit dispiriting about us collectively. Why couldn't a word like &lt;a href="/words/sprachgefuhl"&gt;sprachgefuhl&lt;/a&gt; (also listed as &lt;a href="/words/sprachgef&#252;hl"&gt;sprachgef&#252;hl&lt;/a&gt;) be the top of the list? &lt;i&gt;That&lt;/i&gt; would be &lt;a href="/words/frabjous"&gt;frabjous&lt;/a&gt;!</description>

      <description>Gangerh, you may have just made bunch of people very happy. Since about two weeks after Wordie launched, I've meant to make it so that least favorite words didn't count towards the number of times a word has been listed. And I think I never got around to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this weekend I'll see if that's correct, and fix it if so. And we'll see if the S-word gets taken down a few notches. Maybe the reason it's been on top of the charts is because it's so hated.</description>

      <description>Oh no! Help! I added the s-word as my least favourite and I think it added one to the count for it! Is this so? If it is, how can listing your least favourite word add to its popularity? Sacrilege-bleu! Is it a bug or am I bugdudgeoning? Btw,&lt;a href="/words/schadenfreudgeon"&gt;schadenfreudgeon&lt;/a&gt; is why I did it. Can I cancel it? </description>

      <description>It would be pretty straightforward for me to calculate the top 100 at any given time. What I'd love to do is create some kind of dynamic &lt;a href="/words/histogram"&gt;histogram&lt;/a&gt; of how the top 100 has evolved. Or &lt;a href="/words/devolution"&gt;devolved&lt;/a&gt;. No promises, but I'll work on that someday.</description>

      <description>I'm sorry to report that the S-word has hit 300. I don't think anything is gaining on it either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the rest of the top 100.

It would be interesting to see how the rankings have changed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. quixotic (227)&lt;br /&gt;3. serendipity (217)&lt;br /&gt;4. loquacious (193)&lt;br /&gt;5. ennui (191)&lt;br /&gt;6. plethora (185)&lt;br /&gt;7. mellifluous (174)&lt;br /&gt;8. obfuscate (169)&lt;br /&gt;9. verisimilitude (164)&lt;br /&gt;10. sanguine (162)&lt;br /&gt;11. sesquipedalian (161)&lt;br /&gt;12. ephemeral (159)&lt;br /&gt;13. lugubrious (158)&lt;br /&gt;14. onomatopoeia (156)&lt;br /&gt;15. love (154)&lt;br /&gt;16. syzygy (154)&lt;br /&gt;17. cacophony (153)&lt;br /&gt;18. defenestrate (152)&lt;br /&gt;19. antediluvian (147)&lt;br /&gt;20. defenestration (145)&lt;br /&gt;21. crepuscular (144)&lt;br /&gt;22. zeitgeist (144)&lt;br /&gt;23. callipygian (140)&lt;br /&gt;24. curmudgeon (136)&lt;br /&gt;25. ubiquitous (135)&lt;br /&gt;26. persnickety (135)&lt;br /&gt;27. cerulean (135)&lt;br /&gt;28. moist (131)&lt;br /&gt;29. egregious (131)&lt;br /&gt;30. ethereal (129)&lt;br /&gt;31. esoteric (129)&lt;br /&gt;32. palimpsest (128)&lt;br /&gt;33. doppelganger (127)&lt;br /&gt;34. superfluous (127)&lt;br /&gt;35. portmanteau (125)&lt;br /&gt;36. cantankerous (124)&lt;br /&gt;37. pulchritude (122)&lt;br /&gt;38. ersatz (119)&lt;br /&gt;39. insouciant (117)&lt;br /&gt;40. inchoate (116)&lt;br /&gt;41. macabre (116)&lt;br /&gt;42. mercurial (115)&lt;br /&gt;43. obsequious (115)&lt;br /&gt;44. synecdoche (115)&lt;br /&gt;45. lackadaisical (115)&lt;br /&gt;46. halcyon (114)&lt;br /&gt;47. conundrum (112)&lt;br /&gt;48. miasma (112)&lt;br /&gt;49. salacious (111)&lt;br /&gt;50. penultimate (110)&lt;br /&gt;51. quotidian (110)&lt;br /&gt;52. capricious (110)&lt;br /&gt;53. nefarious (108)&lt;br /&gt;54. anathema (107)&lt;br /&gt;55. clandestine (107)&lt;br /&gt;56. taciturn (106)&lt;br /&gt;57. wanderlust (105)&lt;br /&gt;58. erudite (104)&lt;br /&gt;59. facetious (104)&lt;br /&gt;60. pedantic (103)&lt;br /&gt;61. akimbo (103)&lt;br /&gt;62. solipsism (101)&lt;br /&gt;63. jejune (100)&lt;br /&gt;64. lithe (100)&lt;br /&gt;65. peripatetic (100)&lt;br /&gt;66. soliloquy (100)&lt;br /&gt;67. apotheosis (99)&lt;br /&gt;68. flibbertigibbet (98)&lt;br /&gt;69. zephyr (95)&lt;br /&gt;70. chiaroscuro (95)&lt;br /&gt;71. epiphany (95)&lt;br /&gt;72. neologism (95)&lt;br /&gt;73. soporific (94)&lt;br /&gt;74. vapid (92)&lt;br /&gt;75. laconic (92)&lt;br /&gt;76. palindrome (92)&lt;br /&gt;77. quagmire (91)&lt;br /&gt;78. nascent (91)&lt;br /&gt;79. azure (91)&lt;br /&gt;80. obstreperous (91)&lt;br /&gt;81. avuncular (90)&lt;br /&gt;82. brouhaha (90)&lt;br /&gt;83. kerfuffle (89)&lt;br /&gt;84. troglodyte (89)&lt;br /&gt;85. melancholy (88)&lt;br /&gt;86. paradigm (88)&lt;br /&gt;87. recalcitrant (87)&lt;br /&gt;88. unctuous (87)&lt;br /&gt;89. sardonic (87)&lt;br /&gt;90. prolix (87)&lt;br /&gt;91. supercilious (86)&lt;br /&gt;92. prestidigitation (85)&lt;br /&gt;93. diaphanous (85)&lt;br /&gt;94. lachrymose (84)&lt;br /&gt;95. moxie (84)&lt;br /&gt;96. fuck (84)&lt;br /&gt;97. ineffable (84)&lt;br /&gt;98. snarky (84)&lt;br /&gt;99. perspicacious (84)&lt;br /&gt;100. truthiness (83)</description>

      <description>Being sometimes a saccharine optimist, I can't help opining that the reason others' pain is funny is not that ha-ha, it's you instead of me, but rather an instinctual, communal response to tragedy: an affirmation that, despite obstacles, injuries, and atrocities, we survive anyway. Laughter springs not from a sense of superiority, but from a sense of connectedness.</description>

      <description>Due to flagrant overuse, &lt;a href="/words/schadenfreude"&gt;schadenfreude&lt;/a&gt; has been depreciated from a twenty-dollar word to a dime a dozen. If only the supply of words could be restricted in the same manner as currency.</description>

      <description>I'm willing to bet that schadenfreude stays on the most wordied, past seven days list because it is always listed on the homepage.  &lt;a href="/words/Akimbo"&gt;Akimbo&lt;/a&gt; went through a similar period.</description>

      <description>Schadenfreude seems to be one of the most primal pleasures. Television shows abound are filled with examples: man falls off ladder, child flies off swing, bucket falls onto woman. In one sense it is a valuble learning experience: you are glad you weren't in that position, and make a note not to be in it yourself. But why is it so funny? The only answer I can give is that it expresses the joy you have, build in by millenia of evolutionary conditioning, that you were not the weak one who ended the chain, that, whilst others may fail, you go on to live another day.</description>
