RE: [Cz-L] Reputation in Czernowitz.

Hardy ..I have just looked at a translation site...and that saying is
actually there! There are 15(!) meanings for ungeniert, and the 2
translations are "Until you have lost your reputation,you never realize what
a burden it was or what freedom really is". The other version goes "You
live freely if you haven't a reputation to lose". All very fascinating!!

A good name was very important,
 The gossipers would spread any rumour.
 But as the old saying goes :
" Ist der Ruf erst ruiniert, lebt es sich ganz ungeniert"
In English:
  " Since your reputation is ruined,
     You can live quite unmolested"
