Although the swastika had been used by the Boy Scouts, Native Americans, and Mid-Eastern cultures, it is now so closely associated with the Nazi party that it no longer represents anything else.

Someone shouted out the word 'swastika' randomly today I was baffled what does it mean has it taken on a new meaning in today's society?

Swastika is the name for the sign of the Nazi's. Many people at my shchool have been also randomly shouting out this word. I myself am not Jewish, but I do find it offensive. People just say it to say it, as far as we know there are no more actual Nazi people. As well as there will not be another act such as the one Hitler pulled. Swastika is also a name meaning "beautiful" in some language. <I don't remember what language, though>. I had a friend named Swastika, who we had to call "Swasty" because of what a "swastika" was. -It also means 'lucky charm'.
