"Journaille" is a German pejorative term used to refer to tabloid journalism and the yellow press. The term is a neologism from the early 20th century, formed from the word journalism and the French word canaille, meaning scum, scoundrel or rabble. The term was introduced by the Austrian writer Karl Kraus in an article in his journal Die Fackel in 1902. [1] In a later article in the same journal, Kraus wrote that the original inventor of the term was the Austrian dramaturge Alfred von Berger. [2] The pejorative term was much used by the German Nazi Party in their attacks on the press of the Weimar Republic. [3] Unlike many other terms used by the Nazis, the word Journaille is still used in present-day Germany, and has also established itself in the political parlance of the Netherlands and Flanders. [4]

The overwhelming majority of the so-called half-Jews were legally classified as "first-degree Jewish hybrids" during the era of Nazi Germany. Occasionally, the term was used even before the Nazi era. Within Judaism the term half Jew is unusual, since it does not recognize any partial degrees of Judaism; one can either be Jewish or not.

"The System" was a derogatory term used by the Nazis to denote contemptuously the Weimar Republic, whose official name was German Reich, and its institutions. In Nazi propaganda, the word was used in a number of compounds: for example, the period from the German Revolution of 1918–1919 to the Machtergreifung in 1933 was called "The time of the System" and political opponents of the Nazis from this period were called "System parties", "System politicians" or the "System press". After 1933, the term was quickly adopted to everyday use.
Marriage loans were part of the promotion of the family in Nazi Germany. Instituted in 1933, they were offered to newlywed couples in the form of vouchers for household goods, initially on the condition that the woman stopped working.

Volksgenosse is a German language term meaning a fellow member of a community or compatriot. The word was recorded as early as 1798 and its usage grew within the Völkisch movement of German ethnic nationalism, which led to its use to denote a person of the same "blood community". The term became common parlance within the Nazi Party, then the Third Reich, as a way to distinguish ethnic Germans from other groups, such as Jews and Gypsies. Due to these associations, the word gradually fell out of use after Germany's defeat in World War II and subsequent denazification efforts.
The "Jewish parasite" is a notion that dates back to the Age of Enlightenment. It is based on the idea that the Jews of the diaspora are incapable of forming their own states and would therefore parasitically attack and exploit states and peoples, which are biologically imagined as organisms or "peoples bodies". The stereotype is often associated with the accusation of usury and the separation of "creative", i.e. productive, and "raffling", non-productive financial capital.
Volksschädling is a derogatory term that gained use during the Nazi era, characterising people as "harmful organisms" due to their non-conformist behavior, with the intention of dehumanizing and degrading them as vermin.

The term was first used in 1918, and became popular in the Third Reich when Joseph Goebbels used it in his speech on 10 May 1933 at the burning of books on Berlin's Opernplatz. Meyer's Lexikon defined asphalt literature in the 1936 edition as a "designation for rootless urban writers", which before 1933 had been a "phenomenon of fashion and decay, partly of foreign origin".
