What's a word for a doppelgänger only in one's shlemazlut?

I have a friend who has exactly the same accidents, injuries, mess ups, failings, etc., as I but I can't find a word in English (or otherwise) for it. Physically, we're opposite as night and day. But when something goes wrong, I can match story for story.


Solution 1:

Assuming that the absolutely-not-English word "shlemazlut" is derived from the Yiddish word "schlemazel" to mean the foolery of such a fool as a "schlemazel," then the word you're probably looking for is "schlemiel."

In Yiddish, the counterpart of a "schlemazel" is a "schlemiel." They aren't identical twins but instead are two very different fools, two very different fools engaged in the same foolery and two very different fools who come together in a complementary fashion as a dyad such that in their ongoing foolery, the "schlemiel" becomes the one who spills the soup and the "schlemazel" becomes the one who slips on it.
