      “It has to be in the correct region of Germany.”

        Is this a reference?

          Yes, about how champagne must come from the Champagne region of France, otherwise it’s just sparkling wine. I don’t know where the exact quote comes from though

            It also references Germany, since the word “genocide” was invented to describe the Nazi crimes against European Jews (the Holocaust).

              Explaining things for the slow children takes away from the humour.

                  Like relativistic equivocation?

            champagne must come from the Champagne region of France

            for something that’s been so extensively memed I would have thought Knowyourmeme would have an entry for this. I’m not finding one, though. Even a “research paper” about the subject doesn’t pin down the earliest time it was used in this way.

            It’s just a factoid. The quote itself in this form seems to be from Wayne’s World.

          Yes, to the anti-semite police who will tell you with a straight face that you’re making the Holocaust seem better than it was by calling anything else a genocide.
