Ooh, I know something about this one! The Ho-Chunk people consider being called this word offensive, because it's Chippewa for "dirty." This will not come up because it's impossible that they would have survived Kevin's "gently caress Wisconsin" policy.

A "waiting game"? Did you not notice the part where the children of every non-German ethnic region in Europe are virtually predestined to become mind control fungus monsters of various stripes? Also some of the dumb names I will give a pass to because they're either copied verbatim or calqued clumsily from the German (e.g. Wiedertäufer -> Anabaptists; Jehammedaner -> Jehammedan) and I'm not sure that thought was given to the English resonances of the term as opposed to the German. For instance, I think that one of the big associations you're supposed to make about the Anabaptists is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BCnster_Rebellion. ETA: Cythereal posted:Correct. Real Anabaptists were an early strain of the Protestant movement, and have direct modern day descendants sometimes referred to as Anabaptists today: the Amish, Mennonites, and Hutterites.
