The world has a lot of different standards for a lot of things, but I have never heard of a place with the default screw thread direction being opposite.

So does each language have a fun mnemonic?

still mentioned twice in the thread. It‘s fucked up how often one would come across Germans casually throwing around Nazi language, looking for confirmation and when not receiving it claiming it’s just innocent fun. HiHiHi

Well, but is actually is not Nazi language in this case.

you think people don’t use it in that context?

also, because you‘re so adamant, I tried to find a source for your claim. I failed. Want to share?

My source is my grandfather, who learned this during his vocational training, which predates the Nazis by quite a few years.
