Re: RE [Cz-L] cora's remarks on the comments on bruce's comments

Since I am a "real Czernowitzer", I hope that those who disagree with
me,
will forgive me for what I will write next.
Czernowitzers loved to argue and if they were related,or close friends,
while they argued they would insult each other. "Du Idiot", "Oich a
chuchem"
would just fly through the air.
Every Czernowitzer was an "oiber chuchem" (top intelligent used
sarcastically.)
We were snobs, opinionated, querulous, stubborn and sharp tongued.
It was our constant pleasure "choizig zu machen" (poke fun) at people,
governments and situations.

Maybe this is due to the Yiddish language. Maybe in a city, in which
simple folks
attempted to become educated and modern, it was inevitable.
Whatever the cause, it made for lively conversation.

Thank you Wolfi, for recognizing the unique qualities of Czernowitzers.
