RE: [Cz-L] How we spoke in Czernowitz.

I thought this should be"ganz verschimmelt".i.e....made me totally confused.
Literally it means covered in mould, made me mouldy. Cornel

"verzhimzhet"

I have not heard this expression for a long time, any idea where it comes
from?

I remember it being used as: "Er hat azoi sach mir gehakt in kop bis er hot
mech ganz verzhimzhet "
Untranslatable.
