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.

As a German, that makes me schadenfroh.

Truffle/Shuffle/Chuckle/Kerfuffle do not rhyme with muffel.

Not with the German pronounciation of Muffel. The u is pronounced like the oo in “good” so it’s closer to something like Moofel.

So someone who doesn’t like dogs would be a wooflemuffel.
