> startupfreude Kind of loses its punch in German since that would only mean "startup joy".

• nostrademons 18y ago
  Would the correct German (okay, German/English pidgin) be "Schadenstartup"?

    "Schaden" is roughly "harm". "Freude" is just "joy". So, no, Schadenstartup doesn't make much more sense. I tried to think of a phrasing that would work for the idea, but nothing came to mind with a similar ring to it. In kind of faux German, Startupschadenfreude, being sure to pronouce "Startup" as "Schtartup" might be amusing. :-)

      Startenfreude.
      • DanHulton 18y ago
        But make sure you pronounce it as "Schtartenfreude".

    No, that just means "damage startup."

  Loses its punch, maybe, but it still makes sense, no? After all the potential failure of the incumbents is a "startup's joy"?
