Re: [Cz-L] Re Schwitzbad

While an Hochstapler lives above his means, a Prahler is mainly concerned
with the impression
he makes on others, an Aufschneider is half a Prahler and half a
Munchhausen, believing
at least a little in his own phantasies, only a Schwitzer (preferably of
Czernowitzian origin) is
first of all an ordinary busy-body who super exaggerates his
inter-subjective activities and discourse, and not
only as a metaphor he mostly sweats physically too.
