While the Olympics champion the beauty of athleticism and the thrill of victory, let's face it, us schadenfreuders tune in for the agony of defeat. Especially when one goes for the gold and loses as spectacularly and repeatedly boneheadedly as dear Lindsey Jacobellis.

And there oughta be a word for that.

You know the drill, shoot your word into the Celebrity Addictionary widget below, and you just may be a Word of the Day medalist. Current qualifiers are foolsgold and Jacobllunder.

Because try as we might, we can't all be Shaun White.
