Now we know:
A Hochstapler is an impostor.
A Schwitzer is a boastor.
Two different things.
A Hochstapler is always a Schwitzer.
A Schwitzer is not always a Hochstapler.
A Czernowitzer is always a Schwitzer, the origin of the word is from
there.
Sometimes (but not always) a Hochstapler.
To get to this elementary truth we had to begin at the Roemerbad.
Roemerbad - Schwitzbad - Schwitz - Schwitzer - Hochstapler -
Munchhausen.
