I deleted it. The answer I gave referred to a previous question on a previous page so it didn't make much sense.
The answer to the present question is of course "A hot rod"Bob Willson
The term 'grammar nazi' was invented to make people, who don't know their grammar, feel OK about being uneducated.

I can't recall his job title but his job was to edit newspaper records to remove any reference to "unpersons". He worked for the Ministry of Truth.

"You may talk of gin and beer
When you're quartered safe out here
And you go to penny fights and Aldershot it.
But when it comes to slaughter
You will do your work on water
And you'll kiss the bloomin' boots of him that's got it."
Who wrote it and who is he talking about?
