Title: Hitler is back! and Black!
Post by: chainsaw midget on December 03, 2020, 01:23:43 PM
With everything going on in the world this year, who would have expected Adolf Hitler to return to political power?

If you don't want to read the link, a politician named Adolf Hitler won the Namibian election. 

"The fact I have this name does not mean I want to conquer Oshana," Adolf said,  "It doesn't mean I'm striving for world domination."

2020 is full of surprises, but I did Nazi that one coming.

(Sorry, but if I didn't say it, someone else would.)

If that name wasn't associated with that monster, it would still be a cool name; it means Wolf.

No. It doesn't.  :lookingup:
Hitler liked to associate himself to a wolf- the Wolf's Lair where he used to hide in the mountains, naming his dogs "wolf", imagining himself as a lone wolf against the world, but the name "Adolf Hitler" does not in any way translate into the word "wolf".
In any language.

I had a colleague named Hitler (first name): nice guy. Always a smile for everyone.

I was basing that on what I remembered from the World Book Dictionary; they had a short section of names, which said Adolf was a Germanic name meaning wolf. According to this https://ohbabynames.com/all-baby-names/adolfo/ it's a shortened form of 'Adalwolf, composed of the elements “adal” (noble) and “wulf” (wolf).' So you are right; Adolf does not directly translate to wolf.

Wow.  Now there's a quote we can take out of context later if we ever need to discredit you for anything.
