Out of interest how to spelling-nazis spell the park named after St.
James?


Phrase that in a less offensive way and you might get an answer.


It might be a reference to popular cultu the "Seinfeld" series had
a "soup-nazi" in it who was rude and dogmatic. (This may not have been
the first use.) I know of many people who refer to
such-and-such--nazis and no-one takes offence.
