Oisgeshpielt.
Any English word (or words) for it that would do justice to the real meaning.

I think OP means it in the sense of ״איך בין געבליבן אויסגעשפילט״
Not ״זיי האבן מיך אויסגעשפילט״
Outsmarted would translate the latter but I can’t think of anything for the first example

Exactly...
But look how many words you needed to describe this one word.

Fargin
There is no English word for fargin
I can explain it with a bunch of words - to feel good instead of jealous when someone else has something good, especially something you also wish you’d have but don’t - but even that whole word salad doesn’t really explain that short two syllable word.
There’s also an immfarginner.
That’s a nasty, jealous type of person who doesn’t fargin someone else’s success, accomplishment or enjoyment.

But wouldn't have 1 word for fargin. |
Farginen means to take genuine pleasure in someone else's success or joy
Doesn't fargin might mean to begrudge.

Oisgeshpilt depends in which setting....
You went to a performance, concert, comedy,..
It was oishgespilt, nebachdig, not professional, performers were poor, corny comedy, couldn't hear, speaker system not clear, gritched, it was squishy, no place, no seats, couldn't see, tzishtipt, unorganized.....dark, couldn't get your way around.....
Wedding, party, event, oisgeshpilt poor attendance, no more or not enough food, people chapping, no space, no seat, no company, music too loud, nuchgelozt, not up to date, gaudy decor.....
Sale, expo, oisgeshpilt, oisfarkoift, alte sechoira, didn't find what was looking for, few oisgekratzte stores, people chopping metzious, crowded, couldn't see a thing, kids kvetchy and no patience for the mobs and waiting for fitting rooms, didn't have coach to Stand on feet, hungry tired, no food, Stam wasted time.....

It might also be used for a shabbaton, vacation, retreat Stam oisgeshpilt, if it didn't reach your expectations like for this price you expected an abundance of gourmet food, entertainment, babysitting, daycamp same would be with a chol hamoed halten where every rir costs extra or it's Stam overrated and kids didn't enjoy it, after traveling for long time and spending lot of money, then most of time you're waiting on line
