Most sites just quote Koj/Daijr. The above has: 世間の目が煩（わずらわ）しいことの喩え。 |

i have absolutely no idea what the original gloss was about. there is a second sense in the refs above, but i'm not sure how to translate it:
世間の耳目のうるさいことをたとえていう語。 |

I ran across this while looking for something else. I don't imagine it's a very common term, but perhaps it can be expanded? I had never heard of Mrs Grundy, but I found one definition which says a "Mrs Grundy" is "An extremely conventional or priggish person" (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Mrs.+Grundy). Wikipedia alludes to someone who is "overly fearful of what the respectable might think". Perhaps one of those could be used? |
