אויסגעלאָסןoysgelosn meaning in Yiddish
dissolute, licentious, debauched · adjective
German uses ausgelassen for a lively, high-spirited party. Yiddish took that same root and gave it teeth, as someone who has thrown off every standard of decency. Not to be confused with צולאזט - tzulost, which means smonoe who is a bit carless or running around, we will get to that on another day.
ער פֿירט אַזאַ אויסגעלאָסטן לעבן, אַז קיין איין פֿרײַנד איז אים שוין ניט געבליבן.
“He leads such a dissolute life that he has not a single friend left.”
When was the last time you watched someone throw off every restraint and burn through their reputation?
