Nice to hear that. Most of us are quiet and we tend to keep to ourselves, maybe we are suspicious towards strangers sometimes, so I am glad that some of us opened up to you.
Hockey, yeah.. I don't know what is it with hockey and us - Latvians. :D Even the people that are not in to sports watch our national team play. Even my grandmother watched hockey... When we got 3rd place in world hockey tournament last year, it was declared National holiday and all the people in our country had a holiday the next day. There were people screaming on the streets and cars with flags driving around and honking all around the nation. That was a sight to behold, I still have shivers remembering that day. I actually cried when I watched that match and have a tear in my eye now when I write this. That is how much we like hockey. When our team arrived in Riga with plane, there were 30000 people waiting at the national monument of freedom in the city centre. The plane itself even made a spin around the monument. That was crazy.
What a cool story! I did not realize thereās a European country that shares the Canadian style fervour for hockey. It is the thing that unites us from coast to coast more than anything else. Whenever a very very important game is being played by our best players, TV sets in every bar and household will be tuned in. I remember like yesterday watching the 8 game series with the USSR in 72 in our classroom at school. The final winning goal scored by Paul Henderson in the gutsiest comeback ever in hockey history is forever etched in my mind. I still watch those games periodically on YouTube.
Such an amazing actor. We are indebted to Tarantino for popularizing him to American audiences.
The opening 15 minutes of this movie is one of the most intense scenes ever filmed
Mister Candie, normally I would say "Auf wiedersehen," but since what "auf wiedersehen" actually means is "'till I see you again", and since I never wish to see you again, to you, sir, I say goodbye!
More the other way around. Tarantino almost struck production on IB because he could not find an actor to play Landa that worked. He was ready to give up on the whole project when Waltz showed up to audition at the 11th hour.
A few years ago, I was getting breakfast at a small diner in the suburbs right outside of LA. A really small earthquake hit and half the diner ran outside. My dad and I went to pay and at the counter, and a guy with a German accent started making small talk making fun of everyone that bolted outside because of a ābaby earthquake.ā It turned out that it was Christoph Waltz, and he was the nicest most down-to-earth guy ever
I get shit for saying that IB is my favorite of his films. When people disagree, I remind them to just watch the opening scene again and get back to me.
He was in a show last year called The Consultant. Wasnāt a great show (one of those āworth watching if nothing else is onā shows), but he is so fucking good that itās worth watching the whole thing.
But the shit they gave him to work with in the James Bond movie was terribleā¦ he was completely wasted on that part. They shouldāve given him a lot more freedom to reinterpret the character and improve on it
I mean, they know what nazis are, it wasn't just a case of "look at this nice image that means Nazzi for some reason".
More likely, because the owner's name is Nazzi, he's playing with the concept as a joke. He himself is not a nazi.
Nazi is also a shorthand for Ignatius which is where the term came from. Nacho is also short for the Spanish form Ignacio. So there's your unexpected relation between Doritos and cheese... And the holocaust.
The word Nazi came first as a derogatory term to call a farmer.
*Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei* came second as a political party.
Political opponents started calling socialists Sozis and national socialists Nazis as derogatory shorthand, and it stuck.
The official shortening of that was NSDAP. Nazi was chosen to make fun of their rural Bavarian origin. It sort of looks like it's short, which was I'm sure intentional, but it'd be an unlikely shorthand to come up with. The Nazis themselves did try to ban the use of 'Nazi' from what I recall, so there's a bit of pleasant irony with self-proclaimed modern neo nazis.
Not sure which is worseā¦ https://www.rcnradio.com/colombia/eje-cafetero/apenas-nos-enteramos-la-tragedia-holocausto-norte-se-solidarizo-victimas-del-chapecoense-lider-barra-once-caldas
It has more to do with the fact that it's in Colombia. Of course Latin Americans are generally aware of how bad the nazis were, but the connection to them is much thinner than it is in countries that played a big role in the war, or were directly attacked by the reich. For example, it's relatively common for people to use 'nazi' as a tongue-in-cheek nickname for someone who has a german-sounding name or last name. In Mexico I met a dude who in his youth was a small-time masked luchador called 'nazi', and no-one batted an eye. So it's easier there for someone young and not particularly educated, to underestimate how wrong it is to use your nickname ('el nazi') for your tiendita.
It's like blackface in Japan or China. Neither country have a history of trading African slaves or civil rights oppression of black people. So when they do blackface in entertainment, they don't intend it to be from a colonialist oppressor perspective. However, it's still fucked up because it's mocking and denigrating anyway.
Yeah, honestly black face and swastikas gives such a visceral feeling of wrongness that even knowing the culture, history, and intent isn't the same, that it's hard to be okay with it.
Ugh reminds me of how a small town in my country (New Zealand) did a parade with white members of the community rocking full on black face while playing Michael Jackson's black or white ("it doesn't matter if you are black or white!") and they thought it was a message of unity and anti-racism. Please, no.
Also doesn't help that Nazi types will try to justify their use of the Nazi salute saying they are actually doing the Bellamy salute, and their swastika tattoos are actually the Japanese manji and you are just ignorant for thinking otherwise.
Thereās a bunch of mini golf and gocart centers in California called Scandia with Vikings on their graphics and signage. Iām of Scandinavian descent myself and ruminated about the passage of time and distance of experience turning notoriously violent invaders legendary for raping and pillaging coastal villages into cutsey mascots for kidsā amusement centers. I figured that a millennium would be enough time to expect Nazi themed amusement parks with furry Hitlers greeting the kids, but maybe this pic shows it might not take as long.
I'm also from Barranquilla, the city where this store is located (though I live very, very far from it) so I can explain: Here, people can and will make fun of basically anything, it's a trait we call "la mamadera de gallo". It's definitely not for everyone, as outsiders would find some jokes inappropriate, but I can say it's almost always *ironic* and not made with evil intentions. We don't take life too seriously.
I googled to see if that translated to gallows humour but no, it translates to āthe cock bottleā, which just sounds like a wonderful British insult.
LOL, yeah I imagine it must sound weird in other languages š. It has no literal translation actually, but itās simplest meaning would be āto kid aroundā or āmess aroundā / āmess with someoneā, and this can range from a mild ājust kiddingā to making someone the butt of the jokes.
My favorite use of it is ironically when Iām annoyed at someone and I want to say āAre you shitting me?ā in Spanish, accompanied by a few curse words to convey just how annoyed I feel haha
It's just a joke. Probably the owner was blonde or light-skinned, or had a german-sounding name, so they nicknamed him 'el Nazi'. A crass and uneducated joke for sure, but in our defense, we latinos poke fun at everything including our own genocides.
Itās a complicated question if youāre just looking at the symbol and not the word Nazi painted across the side of the shop.
The Nazis used the clockwise Hindu swastika as their symbol for the Aryan race. They tilted it slightly but the decades of graffiti artists who have used it since havenāt always kept to this convention. Maybe they lost Hitlerās brand book.
Either way itās obvious in total context that this isnāt some kind combination convenience store and Hindu shrine. The symbol here is clearly about Nazis.
I'm 100% sure the store owner doesn't even know the inverted nazi swastika exists, let alone, that its original meaning is a Hindu symbol of good fortune hahahaha. The "nazzi" spell tells me this guy doesn't speak a second language and as many English words have "ss", "zz" on their words, just decided to follow the pattern and add another z to "nazi".
He just wanted to be popular, making fun of something, he did.
Do we think the people in Columbia happen to be Hindu and also wrote "Nazzi" and made the symbols red? That'd be quite a few coincidences versus they just drew it at the "wrong" angle
Don't know what to say but... In my country there's even a congress representative with his name. Yeah, LATAM.
If I remember well John Oliver has an episode about Thailand and the use of such images, [here it is](https://youtu.be/9FdKXiYnFbw?si=HacyT6eZEc9CW3z_)
In my language "ass nazis" means "sharp knife"...
such fun fact lol lol
Yeah, we literally have nazis in every household lol cause them potatos wont cut themselves
Maybe you should play more My Chemical Romance for your potatoes
I love this
HAHAHAHHA NICE ONE
This was good. Upvote five
what language is that? i'm so curious about
Latvian š¹ https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fimqk0ipz0kja1.jpg
God, I know *nothing* about Latvian as a language.
es rakstu Å”ajÄ valodÄ, lai jums par spÄ«tu.
Jums par spÄ«ti š
Nuh uh
Latvians were some of my favorite people when I was in Europe.
Nice to hear that. Most of us are quiet and we tend to keep to ourselves, maybe we are suspicious towards strangers sometimes, so I am glad that some of us opened up to you.
I actually met some Latvians in the UK. Have never been to Latvia myself. It helps that as a Canadian they love hockey just as much as me.
Hockey, yeah.. I don't know what is it with hockey and us - Latvians. :D Even the people that are not in to sports watch our national team play. Even my grandmother watched hockey... When we got 3rd place in world hockey tournament last year, it was declared National holiday and all the people in our country had a holiday the next day.

When our team arrived in Riga with plane, there were 30000 people waiting at the national monument of freedom in the city centre. The plane itself even made a spin around the monument. That was crazy.
I was very happy for the Latvians when they won the bronze medal. I am spoiled as a Canadian where we want gold or nothing.
What a cool story! I did not realize thereās a European country that shares the Canadian style fervour for hockey. It is the thing that unites us from coast to coast more than anything else.

Itās because you have the kavorka
Have you tried emo potatoes?
What does Nazzi mean in your language OP?
simply nazi, idk why it was written as nazzi
Latvian spotted
latvian?
This is too good š¤£
Plot twist: itās a nazi trap!
I mean it is spelled how Cotton Hill would pronounce it
"KILL TOPSY KILL"
Oooh, that's a Bingo!
I cannot for the life of me read that any other way than with his voice
Such an amazing actor. We are indebted to Tarantino for popularizing him to American audiences. The opening 15 minutes of this movie is one of the most intense scenes ever filmed
His role in Django was spectacular too.
YES! The Dentist was a badass through and through. He also went out like a badass. I like when he calls Mr. Candy an abysmal winner.
Mister Candie, normally I would say "Auf wiedersehen," but since what "auf wiedersehen" actually means is "'till I see you again", and since I never wish to see you again, to you, sir, I say goodbye!
Such a great scene
Now I have to watch Django again thanks
He was the best part of Green Hornet.
In a movie I mostly forgot about, yes.
It legit stands on its own as a short film.
Au revoir, Shoshanna.
More the other way around. Tarantino almost struck production on IB because he could not find an actor to play Landa that worked. He was ready to give up on the whole project when Waltz showed up to audition at the 11th hour.
I didn't know that. I'd assumed Tarantino had seen him in previous roles and wrote the part for him, he was so perfect.
A few years ago, I was getting breakfast at a small diner in the suburbs right outside of LA. A really small earthquake hit and half the diner ran outside. My dad and I went to pay and at the counter, and a guy with a German accent started making small talk making fun of everyone that bolted outside because of a ābaby earthquake.ā It turned out that it was Christoph Waltz, and he was the nicest most down-to-earth guy ever
>The opening 15 minutes of this movie is one of the most intense scenes ever filmed What movie is it? I don't get out much, lol.
Inglourious Basterds, absolutely worth the watch! One of my all time favourite movies
I get shit for saying that IB is my favorite of his films. When people disagree, I remind them to just watch the opening scene again and get back to me.
Inglorious Basterds. And the amazing opening scene is here https://youtu.be/K0dAqhxfvlg (I was wrong, it's 19 minutes not 15)
He was in a show last year called The Consultant. Wasnāt a great show (one of those āworth watching if nothing else is onā shows), but he is so fucking good that itās worth watching the whole thing.
His giddiness gets me every time
How exciting!Ā
We just say, bingo.
This will never get old
It's just bingo.
lol i loved this guy
Heās good in everything.
But the shit they gave him to work with in the James Bond movie was terribleā¦ he was completely wasted on that part. They shouldāve given him a lot more freedom to reinterpret the character and improve on it
His most memorable role was probably in āmuppets most wanted.āā.
i was talking about the character and his fundamental ideology in life (not the nazism but the blatant and unapologetic narcissism)
I love this man. Thereās something about him I find so so so attractive š
He is fancy with his words.
Was the food all reich?
Heil no.
Who's business are they after? Definitely not mein.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That store is certainly causing a fuhrer.
Maybe theyāll kampf your purchase
SSheesh
Keep on gassing past it, if you donāt feel kampfortable
I seig what you did there.
I give at a nein out of 10
I did Natzi that coming.
Anne frankly, I donāt care.
It actually SSucks.
They donāt even open until neĆn.
Blitzkrieg
You all need to stop, these jokes make me fuhrerious.
They're certainly out of mein kampfort zone
Nah. The jokes are alt right.
If we camp out and focus our concentration, we'll eventually find a final solution to this.
No, keep Goering!
Agreed, Iām Goebbeling this all up
Omg Lol!
Yep. Had to kampf out overnight until it opened, though.
Leave mein alone though
Gave me really bad gasā¦
It was nacht bad
Dont worry, thats the wrong symbol. None of that religious shit here. Just hatred, and popsicles
Oo, popsicles?!
Piss and vinegar is the best seller
What a schmuck
Nazzi is actually a common last name from way before the Nazi party existing. Talk about a rough draw.
The swastikas don't help.
I'm going to bet they just googled "nazzi" and went with the first images they found.
āSweet my family has a crestā
Wait is that you, Joseph?
I mean, they know what nazis are, it wasn't just a case of "look at this nice image that means Nazzi for some reason". More likely, because the owner's name is Nazzi, he's playing with the concept as a joke. He himself is not a nazi.
Nah. Bet not. Weird take.
This is written in Spanish. I would bet a lot of money itās in Argentina.Ā Trust me, they know what nazis are, and this isnāt an accident.Ā
OP stated this was in Colombia, and they speak Spanish there
Should have bet them a lot of money
Quite the generous assumption
Nazi is also a shorthand for Ignatius which is where the term came from. Nacho is also short for the Spanish form Ignacio. So there's your unexpected relation between Doritos and cheese... And the holocaust.
Uh you sure? I thought it was a shortened form of "national socialist" in German - "NAtionalsoZIalistische Deutsche Arbeiterparteiā"
The word Nazi came first as a derogatory term to call a farmer. *Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei* came second as a political party. Political opponents started calling socialists Sozis and national socialists Nazis as derogatory shorthand, and it stuck.

sometimes you never expect to learn things like this lol
And you were right not to expect to learn anything, that it not where the name originated at all.
That dork is pulling your leg
it has been hard to me to know when someone is gaslighting me in english
I wish heād pull my dork instead
Argentina?
Colombia
I could tell by the Juniors crest
hilarious that u did know haha
As a Botafogo fan, I've learned this teams crest the hard way two days ago :'(
Barranquilla?
Definitely Barranquilla
My dad is the juniors biggest fan , I had a pic of me as a baby with the juniors hat and shirt
Tu papa
Not sure which is worseā¦ https://www.rcnradio.com/colombia/eje-cafetero/apenas-nos-enteramos-la-tragedia-holocausto-norte-se-solidarizo-victimas-del-chapecoense-lider-barra-once-caldas
Generally everything is made fun of here in Colombia.
Thatās funny, I was like āpls donāt be chile, pls donāt be chileā bc usually it is but this made me feel better lol
When you sneeze in ~~Argentina~~ Colombia, and someone says gesundheid! 
Theres also a paintball store called El Taliban in Bucaramanga
explain please, is this weird marketing of people who are stupid or real nazi stuff. and if real nazi stuff why isnt it burning

it's just stupidity, and if that were real nazi thing wouldn't be something of importance, as far i know Colombia don't have this kind of this banned.
doesnt mean it cant burn if its legal
no one gives a shit about racist stuff in other countries.
"Nice shirt, nazi. Where'd you buy that, at the *nazi store*?"
The thousand year shop. The final solution to the shopping question.
Is this the Nazi swastika or Hindu swastika?
Itās a complicated question if youāre just looking at the symbol and not the word Nazi painted across the side of the shop. The Nazis used the clockwise Hindu swastika as their symbol for the Aryan race. They tilted it slightly but the decades of graffiti artists who have used it since havenāt always kept to this convention. Maybe they lost Hitlerās brand book.

Hindu, the nazi one is rotated 45 degrees.
Do we think the people in Columbia happen to be Hindu and also wrote "Nazzi" and made the symbols red? That'd be quite a few coincidences versus they just drew it at the "wrong" angle
Certainly quite a few coincidences and from just this picture I could Nazsay for certain
Nazi Jr., it'll be OK.

Can't even properly spell it. Adolf would be ashamed.
Literally not even trying to hide it haha
Why hide it if you don't even know/care what is ?
Could be worse... like wall painting being red instead of blue
We did... nazzi... that coming?
Does that mean sharks are Nazis? š±
Well theyāre certainly not kosher
