zog
n.— «One day before the attack, Brunerie had posted a message on a British neo-Nazi Web site, reading: “Watch the TV this Sunday, I will be the star…Death to zog, 88!” The motto “death to zog, 88!” is a classic neo-Nazi code. The acronym “zog” stands for Zionist occupied government, reflecting their view that Jews control “most of the White nations on this planet,” as the Combat 18 Web site explains. The number 88 refers to “HH” or “Heil Hitler.”» —“Would-be Chirac assassin on trial” in Paris, France Reuters Dec. 7, 2004. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
