Rankthrill
(adj. Rankthrillid)
Suffering caused by pleasure rapidly souring. An example might be meeting someone you remember fondly only to find they have changed for the worse, or the pleasure of physical contact that, it immediately dawns on you, was an accident. Rankthrill tends to be more intense the more unexpected the pleasure.
"I received a textmessage, but - rankthrill ahoy! - it was from that bilgerat Robin."
