Grausamkeitsspäße [ˈɡʀaʊ̯zaːmkaɪ̯tˈʃpɛːsə] - “cruel jokes”
German always has such great words for describing deriving pleasure from someone else’s pain. 
(Thanks to Chuck Gordon for turning me on to this word!)
Doof – stupid; lame; dumb
Ausgezeichnet /ˈausgətsaiçnət/ – excellent; awesome; fantastic
I love the sound of this word. Listen for it in Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Basterds” (an awesome movie for language nerds).
I’ve decided to share interesting (to me) foreign words for which there are no real concise equivalents in English. I’m doing this mostly for my own entertainment, but if you know of an interesting or amusing word in another language, and think the rest of us should know it too, please don’t hesitate to contact me. For Japanese words, please see my nihongo à gogo site.
And now, on with the show:
Backpfeifengesicht – a face that begs to be smacked
