I'm a shufflemuffel and I say with nary a hint of irony: treat walking like driving and GET OUT OF THE PASSING LANE.
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.
It does have an English analog, it's schadenfreude. Like many (most?) English words, it's been adopted.
Well, English is a Germanic language.
As a German, that makes me schadenfroh.
Ich bin ein Morgenmuffel.
I hate being confused. Am I a bafflemuffel?
Germany approves.
If I hate muffled sounds does that make me a mufflemuffel?
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.Why do we all have to wear this ridiculous ties!
Yes. Of course. Adopted this immediately
People who like loud cars: mufflermuffel
Guy dudes: muffinmuffel
