From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Originally it was made from various plants similar to Chinese honey locust (Gleditsia sinensis) (皂莢), including Sapindus saponaria (肥珠子) and Gymnocladus chinensis (肥皂莢), which have large fruits.
The genocide victim meaning comes from the story of Nazi Germany producing soap made of human corpses.
肥皂
- soap (Classifier: 塊／块 m)
- (obsolete) Chinese honey locust (Gleditsia sinensis, or other similar plants, pounded into pieces)
- Synonyms: 皂莢 / 皂荚 (zàojiá), 皂角 (zàojiǎo)
- (slang, Internet slang, figurative) Holocaust victim
- (Internet slang, Ironic, by extension) nonwhite Wehraboos (where they would have been targeted for mass killing should the Nazis were in power)
