Not trying to.  The question was asked whether "Nip" is a derogatory term
(my understanding is that it is) and I wouldn't call any German a Kraut,
regardless of where the comp was made.  In a field under a field that has
foul language, misogyny, not a whole lot of black people, none too many
women, next to no mentions of Christianity, it would be foolish for ME to
insinuate that.  After all, we are talking about a genre named for a
euphemism for sex (Rock 'n' Roll)!

Still don't like either name, but you're also dealing with a guy that
doesn't dig the language or artwork on the BFTG's and I have bought those.
