What is Wie schade?
A German phrase meaning "what a shame" and the equivilent of the French "quel dommage". When used, it is in a sarcastic tone to show sympathy which is not there. It can be accompanied by a raised eyebrow, and is best put to use after a particularly long and boring story that someone has just told. It helps if they don't know what you're talking about.
NB: pronounced 'vee shaadeh.'
"...and then I was like, totally not expecting it and just like, walked away when my phone fell out of my handbag and I totally couldn't go back to get it!"
"Wie schade."
