Cotton wool in the ears?

Subject: Cotton wool in the ears?
Why do Romanians wear cotton wool in their ears?
this is indeed a question which puzzles me for over 10 years...
grateful if you could find the answer...
I have heard a rumour about a belief/superstition that any form of
draughtwill cause illness. It sounded like the name they had for it is
somethinglike 'Corent'.
correct spelling: curent (which also means electrical
current!)...think it is not a superstition...think that they are truly
convinced
that they get earache, headache, toothache if exposed to 'curent'...it
might be well possible that bad oral hygiene, disregard re: dental
treatment, etc may have contributed to the belief (perhaps correct!)
that they get ill if exposed to cold air...

well, whaddabout "groin"g up? What stopped you at 10? As of my recollection,
only old out_towners "> wear cotton wool in their ears" like everywhere else in
Europe old people do
still puzzled? oh, c'mon, that MUST be related to Dracula, not to mention that
all the beggers in our dear(est) Bucale >wear cotton wool in their ears as a
gang sign
I never stuffed my ears, nor did my parents, relatives or neighbors, so what
are you puzzled for over 10 years? Where are you from?

i don't see a single blooming english senior citizen wearing cotton
wool in his/her ears!...and generally, women here are proud of their hair
(as opposed to our romanian tzatze...
still puzzled? oh, c'mon, that MUST be related to Dracula,
thought they want to isolate themselves from the world...refusal to
accept advice, etc?...noi nu ne vindem intelepciunea (we don't sell

that's why you didn't rot in the country of willows...

>wool in his/her ears!
that's precisely b/coz you live in London, but what about driving this coming
weekend to a farm at, let's say, 100 mi from big ben. And why on earth 2 romani
pe un forum romanesc vorbesc in engleza despre taranul ... roman?! Are we nuts,
or what?
Io plonjai in ciorba pen ca intrebarea:
>Why do Romanians wear cotton wool in their ears?
mi se pare stupida, sub nici o forma vata din urechi nu-i o caracteristica
romaneasca. Am calatorit prin lume si m-am dumirit ca omul de r^nd, fie el
englez, spaniol, australian, american sau cu ochii trasi spre spate, stie 4
dume mari si late despre Romanica: dracula/ilie nastase/nadia
comaneci/ceaucescu. Dar vata in urechi?, si d'aia s^ntem vinovati?! Precis e o
conspiratie jidaneasca, de data asta Fredy a depasit masura! O sa-mi scot vata
din urechi si o sa i-o bag in nas..
