A violin Nazi is a violinist who believes strongly in the philosophy that the violin is the superior instrument, and all others, particularly violas, are less than worthless. These individuals are generally very dismissive of other musicians and their instruments, and seem just a little too eager to make jokes about them (especially viola jokes), in a manner that leaves everyone else wondering whether they are actually joking or not.
Violin Nazism is frequently, but not necessarily, accompanied by an overinflated ego.
Violin Nazis are not the only type of instrument Nazis (there can be cello Nazis, clarinet Nazis, etc), but it tends to be the most common with violinists.

Viola 1: Can you believe it? That violinist just laughed at me for playing one wrong note.
Viola 2: Yeah, if I had a dollar for every time he's said "violas must die," I'd be able to buy a new set of strings!
Viola 1: He really is a violin Nazi, isn't he. Smh.
