LOLwut?
You learned something new? It comes from "Nazist" which is the real way of shortening the name "National Socialist." "Nazist" is widely in use in other languages. But English-speakers being what they are when it comes to language, even their own.... "wut," what an accurate illustration right there, thank you.
i better inform the discovery channel on this
as what you say is true
about where the word Nazi came from
this does not mean that refering to it as Nazi Germany is incorrect
due to the fact that it was not all of Germany doing this
ergo you could refer to it as the Third Reich instead of Nazi Germany
but is that really correct
if this is a problem as i don't really see it is (just a matter of semantics)
you could say Germany under a Nazi regime but really
and i mean really does it really matter
