Webster - Shmepster
You know the connotation of the word when it is used in that fashion. The way you are using it grew out of the political party and the control that they attempted to exert and the horror that they brought to this world towards that end.
I wasn't trying to call you out or anything, I just wanted to voice my opinion that would could refrain from words that may hurt others. If you feel comfortable using it in that fashion then you have every right. Let's just say that it is not a phrase that I prefer to use.
And just because you asked this is from dictionary.com - I like how #3 says "sometimes offense" and you did use it lowercase.

The party was officially abolished in 1945 at the conclusion of World War II.
