Uber Gruppen Fuhrer

Head Honcho [tinc].

GodwinsLaw applies.

BTW, can someone enlighten me on why the usage of Nazi terms seems to become more and more popular in computer science? I recently attended a conference in London with a bunch of speakers from the US. At least three of them seemed to be very addicted to Nazi terms.

Finally, if one really thinks he has to use these terms to be "cool", then I recommend to at least learn to type them correctly (hint, there are more letters in the German alphabet than in ASCII, and a "u" is significantly different from a "ü"). (Isn't it also acceptable to translate "ü" into "ue" if umlauts aren't available?)

Jawohl, mein Herr!

...but there are technical problems with UberGruppenFührer: It doesn't work as a WikiName, for instance.

How does one tell the difference between a Nazi term and a not so Nazi term? (For example, I've just been singing German ChoralMusic which uses Führer in the sense of "leader and guide", if I understand correctly. It seems a bit strange at first to English-speaking people with a restricted sense of what are Nazi terms. -- MartinPool.)
