Be careful. One comment even vaguely suggesting that Nazi science is responsible for the creation of NASA and you get posted to /r/ShitWehraboosSay, despite how accurate your comment might be. That was a good time.

What the hell's a Wehraboo?

[–]ViperXeon 97ポイント98ポイント  (28子コメント)

Sounds like a bastardization of Weeaboo but with the word Wehrmacht mashed into it.

[–]Cthulhuhoop 34ポイント35ポイント  (24子コメント)

That's right. There are also tea-aboos for the uk.

[–]OneBeardedScientist 21ポイント22ポイント  (18子コメント)

Are all people from the UK Tea-aboos? I mean I did just finish my third cup of the day but I still feel vaguely insulted :P

[–]Cthulhuhoop 20ポイント21ポイント  (14子コメント)

I suppose you could be, but it's not automatic. Think of it like a British fanboy.

[–]OneBeardedScientist 25ポイント26ポイント  (10子コメント)

Oh I get what you mean. So it would be quite hard for me to be a tea-aboo, in that I actually AM British? Unless I was unpleasantly and slightly pathetically patriotic?

[–]waitee11 21ポイント22ポイント  (6子コメント)

A Japanese person isn't a weeaboo. A Brit isn't an Anglophile/Teaboo.

Think of it more like an American abandoning their culture to pretend to be British.

[–]OneBeardedScientist 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Right, okay I get it now! I can drink as much tea as I want and still be culturally acceptable. I'm okay with this.

[–]ViperZer0 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

What culture?

[–]dank_imagemacro [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Culture
BIOLOGY
the cultivation of bacteria, tissue cells, etc., in an artificial medium containing nutrients.
"the cells proliferate readily in culture"

[–]waitee11 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Hollywood, Fast Food, Liberty and The American Dream, and the what not.

[–]horrorshowmalchick [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Like that episode of Frasier where he finds a pub.

[–]Cthulhuhoop 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

Exactly!

[–]betta-believe-it [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I am reading all of your comments like I imagine you talk and it sounds so smart and correct.

[–]franch [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

yeah, you're basically exempt. I'm sort of a teaboo.

[–]Jathom 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

What was wrong with Anglophile? It's a legit word that has been around a long time and basically defines as "British Fanboy?"

Was there actually a need for a term as dumb sounding as Tea-aboo?

[–]lazeman [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Well sort of. Anglophile sounds sort of cool or maybe sextual. Tea-aboo is clearly a demeaning term. But more probably it comes from someone who didn't know about anglophiles but knew weeaboos so they made a new word up that was for British want a bes.

[–]midnightauro [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

TIL There's a name for me, and it's fucking tea-aboo.

[–]Rosstafarii 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

it was ~half past 3 and you'd only had 3 cups? The Home Office has been contacted and your passport revoked

[–]PsychoFoxx 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Third? It's five-fifteen man. I'm in double figures here. Step your game up.

[–]blazkow [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Nah, it's like Americans who wanna be British.

[–]skeelachi 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Would ones from Canada be Wee-aboots then?

[–]Crash15 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

And slavaboos for Russia

[–]byefatlecia 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Your username is great.

[–]Xperr7 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

And Koreaboos for Korea

[–]skraptastic [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Too bad people didn't know we already had a word for that: Anglophiles.

[–]SubtleMockery 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Which, hilariously, applies to a lot of Japanese Otaku.

[–]LitrillyChrisTraeger [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Fun fact: the word you're looking for is Portmanteau

[–]military_history [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

It's a person who idolizes the German army as the single greatest military force of all time, refusing to acknowledge that it had flaws, was complicit in war crimes, and lost both world wars.

[–]ScenesfromaCat 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

From my brief experience in that subreddit, it appears to be someone who knows a lot about Nazi Germany? I'm not really sure. The sub appears to be full of posts about anything good that the Nazis did.

[–]Innalibra 5ポイント6ポイント  (3子コメント)

Arguably one the most brilliant rocket scientist to have ever lived, Wernher Von Braun, was the Nazi who invented the V2 rocket. He would later be responsible for putting the first man on the moon. To deny that is to deny recorded history. It's ridiculous that anyone would take offense over that fact.

Horrible atrocities were committed under Nazi rule, I don't think anyone would argue that. Still, you don't have to like them to respect their ingenuity.

[–]callmemrpib [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Robert Goddard would like to have a word with you.

[–]Innalibra [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I suppose I did say arguably

In any case, he was at least one of the most brilliant.

[–]Bartweiss [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

It's an interesting mix, though.

Goddard was working in enough secrecy that a lot of his efforts were duplicated elsewhere, and by the 40s he was still working almost exclusively with gasoline + oxygen engines. Von Braun opened up a lot of new avenues, looking into hydrazine and other more modern fuels for the German rocket program. Having said that, Goddard still deserves huge credit for originating JATO rockets and essentially creating the American program for applied rocketry.

[–]Rabh 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

Maybe the answer is more nuanced than just Nazi science responsible for NASA and we're all just tired of the low effort pop history about Nazi super weapons etc

[–]rattfink [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Say what you want about the tenants of national socialism, at least it's an ethos.

[–]Phiggle [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I swear, I just visited that sub and someone had linked to your exact comment. Seconds after reloading, it was gone.

[–]moxxythesecond 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I mean... Nazi NAZI NAZA NASA.

It's basically spelled out right there. Proof.

[–]DatRagnar 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

It is accurate that german science helped the american NASA program to a certain degree, but to say it is responsible is quite pomperous, since rocket technology was already known at the time in the USA, even though they had not built rockets like those silly V2's. The american space program would properly not suffer if it didn't have german technology.
