i'm glad somebody got the reference.

(i assume the people downvoting my comment only know the word as an alt-right thing and are unaware of its earlier etymological journey which makes it a relevant response to this thread. in fairness, I'd forgotten how far they went with it in 2016 until I just read that wowpedia page 😬)
