Romanian term or phrase: în gura mare
Până prin clasa a XI-a îmi era jenă să spun cuiva, deşi credeam că aşa e drept; prin clasa a XII-a nu-mi mai păsa dacă cineva avea de comentat la adresa mea pe acest subiect, iar de prin anul I de facultate am început să mă laud (nu în gura mare, bineînţeles) cu statutul meu, tot fără să-mi pese de "gurile rele".


not loudly, of course ?
