Adler number: alpha,3053
Translated headword: to fail to blush
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] to be shameless.
Aristophanes [writes]: "it would have been better then to fail to blush instantly, [rather] than to have borrowed and acquired problems."[1] The [word] "problems" is not used to refer to an evil.[2]
The word is said about those who lend money. And elsewhere: "once red and not a tenth time pale."[3]
