I'm a shufflemuffel and I say with nary a hint of irony: treat walking like driving and GET OUT OF THE PASSING LANE.

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I find gently scraping your shoe on the floor, on the side you're passing, to be a great way to get slow people out of the way. They hear a noise on one side and move away from it.

Alternatively you can quietly gnarl like a rabid dog the whole time. Advantage: your poor shoes don't suffer. Disadvantage: they'll take you for a crazy person. Advantage: nobody messes with crazy.

As an American, I am in perpetual shock that schadenfreude doesn't have an English analog.

It's literally our most universal core societal value here and we don't even have a word for it.

[–] hypelightfly@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It does have an English analog, it's schadenfreude. Like many (most?) English words, it's been adopted.

[–] FReddit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Well, English is a Germanic language.

[–] aksdb@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago

As a German, that makes me schadenfroh.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Ich bin ein Morgenmuffel.

[–] DrTeeth@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I hate being confused. Am I a bafflemuffel?

[–] dojan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Truffle/Shuffle/Chuckle/Kerfuffle do not rhyme with muffel.

[–] RagnarokOnline@reddthat.com 12 points 2 years ago

No need to be a Rhymemuffel

Not with the German pronounciation of Muffel. The u is pronounced like the oo in "good" so it's closer to something like Moofel.

[–] HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So vegetarians are MooMooMoofels?

[–] VeganSchnitzel@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That is genius and I'm sad it flew under the radar. It works in German, too! MuhMuhMuffel

[–] aksdb@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So someone who doesn't like dogs would be a wooflemuffel.

[–] mausgrau@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, that's perfect!

[–] LemmyNameMyself@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

If I hate muffled sounds does that make me a mufflemuffel?

[–] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Germany approves.

[–] Krististrasza@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

So people who insist on modifying the exhaust on their cars or bikes to make them louder and annoy everyone around them are Mufflermuffel.
And when you tell a grouch to stop complaining you'll be a Muffelmuffler.

[–] dopeshark@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Why do we all have to wear this ridiculous ties!

[–] RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

People who like loud cars: mufflermuffel

Guy dudes: muffinmuffel

[–] CassowaryTom@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. Of course. Adopted this immediately
