[info] osewalrus coined a useful word some time ago, which I've used in oral conversation but don't remember whether I've used yet in a text medium. Having recently read a post in which he gives the explicit definition, I thought it might be good to repeat that definition here for the edification of anyone who reads me and not him, and doesn't find the meaning entirely obvious from its roots:

Cassandrafruede: the bitter pleasure experienced when something awful you predicted that could have been avoided if people had listened to you comes to pass, even though you also get screwed through no fault of your own

I know several of my other friends experience this from time to time and may find the word handy.

[I can safely assume that all of my readers know which Cassandra it refers to, right?]
