Or a single meaning. Who's to say the person who wrote the module even
had any idea it could be read otherwise?

While this flippant usage of "Nazi" (based on, as I understand it,
Seinfeld's "soup nazi") may be offensive, it has nothing to do with
sexism. If the scope of this discussion is to be offensive module names
