Ok.
I overstated my case when I said that words have meanings,
and that 'nazi' has a very specific meaning, yes. But of
course, I was not talking about 'food nazis' or 'grammar
nazis'. The context of your remark seemed clear and I
couldn't see anything humourous about it.
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you *can* make
words mean so many different things."
