That's pretty surprising seeing as German is the only language which has Sitzpinkler as an insult
I was surprised when I found out it was an insult. Assumed it was a fun German expression but did not consider it to be adjacent to soyboy or whatever.
Made me wonder if schadenfreude might be less fun in context than how English speakers use it. Like we tend to use it in the context of relatively minor misfortunes happening to others.
