I want to play a game........
I give a definition, something that I think we should have a word for, and you (plural you) think of words to fit that definition and post them here.
W001--
The tendency of humans to assume the vices of those around them while ignoring or disregarding the virtues. (if any)
W002--
1) (Noun) An emotion, for one to hope that the plans or actions of another will fail, bringing about negative consequences for all involved so that one may claim retrospectively to have been right all along.
2) (Noun) The "smug" and/or self-righteous emotion that one feels in the wake of a disaster at their proclamation that they were right all along. (usually includes the phrase "I told you so" or some variant thereof, typically inflected with a mix of glee and condesention)
3) (Noun) The experiencer of said emotions.
4) (Verb) The act of experiencing or more especially acting upon said emotion.
W003--
