Re: [Cz-L] more on "angsts"

I can easily think of some cultural angsts, I remember from my Czernowitz
childhood, but they may not be particular to Czernowitz.

1. Do not walk around in socks, it may cause someone to die.
2. Do not eat fresh warm bread , you'll get a stomach ache.
3. If the palm of your right hand itches, you will be counting money.
    If the palm of your left hand itches, you will "chapen Petsch"
    (get a beating).
4. Do not praise anyone without saying "Keneynahoreh", if you do, something
    bad will happen to them.
