That was my point Think. We don’t have a word for schadenfreude. We already have words for tsunami and gobsmacked. I think most people use the foreign words to sound like they’re “hip” as opposed to linguistic license. I think it also applies to fad words in English. That’s why (in my opinion) adults started saying awesome and cool no matter how ridiculous it sounded the first time.
