I'm also fascinated by the power of words and have embraced the words hygge and Schadenfreude and uitwaaien as my own for a while (LOML and I joke that need an uitwaaien when things are getting crazy around Maxabellaland!)

I am ashamed to say that I enjoy the feeling of "Schadenfreude" and encourage the "pochemuchkas" in our house by giving them informative answers and then asking them questions back!
