What the Chinese equivalent of "sucked in"? In the sense of being satisfied/happy/delighted at someone's misfortune. Informal. Example: A: Did you know that John was caught cheating on the test?! B: Really!? Haha sucked-in! The closest in Chinese I've heard of is 幸災樂禍 but it seems a bit formal. Any thoughts?

After asking an Australian friend, I clarified 'sucked in', which still means 'cheated, you believed me', like: A: Santa Claus is outside on the lawn! B: (Looks outside, but there is no Santa Claus out there) Where? A: Haha, (you were) sucked in (by me) There is no sense of gloating, just a dumb joke sucked in: 骗: A:哈哈, 笑话,我骗你哦!

Is 'sucked in' Oz speak? I am not familiar with this use of sucked in. ‘sucked in' as cheated, 骗 I know and everyone knows the American 'that sucks'. How does 'sucked in' come to have the meaning you attribute to it?
