Ain't that "shameful joy"? Also known as "being a prick"
Yeah, that's shameful joy. But sadly, shameful joy is 2 words, instead of one...

This you need to explain. What is torte (tart?) and kuche? We have hundreds of different cakes...
no no, a tart is an Obstkuchen. Which is a fruitcake...nono, we make a difference, between ...ok a "Torte" is based on cream, and a "Kuchen" is more solid and based on flour.

No. We call that "eating when sad"
Again..sadly, you need 3 words, we need one.

Quote:
Embarassment?
No, because you can be embarassed for what you have done as well.
fremdschämen implicates, that another one is embarassing for you.

Quote:
Crack whore?
Well...doesn't really implicate crack, lol


Quote:
Yeah we do: lucky bastards and unlucky bastards
Again...two words.

Quote:
It's called trying to help, or digging a deeper hole.
hmm..ya kinda, still it's 4 words.
But "verschlimmbessern" (literally "to badbetter") implicates that you want to do good, but end up makin it worse.

See, in English we use more than one word to describe a thing, action or person, so we may not have one word as you do like schawdenwotsit but we call it two things. That's how English mostly works.
I love your fake German
