Midcentury German

Derisive synonym for "Nazi", used with the facetious implication that Nazi ideology was a uniquely German ethnic phenomenon. Also used to simply avoid saying the proper name on a platform (such as YouTube) which penalizes bringing up the Midcentury Germans, and/or as a defense against Godwin's Law.

Originated from English political commentators.
