I thought for a moment maybe the noun as an insult started with the Nazis, but no, the word goes back a long way.
p.s. I notice the vast majority of your HN comments are similarly very short and low-effort, with a lot of not-very-nice jabs at people on here. Doesn't make for pleasant reading.

I was trying to suss out if that's what you were doing. > Doesn't make for pleasant reading. I can live with that. Brevity is the soul of wit?
