  • Alternative to "Soup Nazi" phrase?

    I know the origins of the concept in pop culture (Sleepless in Seattle) and the coining of the phrase is episode 116 of Seinfeld. My problem is that the use of the term Nazi can be offense to some groups.

    What is a PC alternative to the phrase "Soup Nazi"

    My requirements:

    1) It has to be short

    2) The vocabulary used has to be readily understood by college literate professionals

    3) It has to pass a strict political correctness standard

    How can I descried someone as a soup Nazi without using offensive language?
