Alligator Auschwitz means: Alligator Alcatraz.. Register: very informal, slang. Suitable only for casual conversation, chat and social media. Do not use in business, academic or news writing.

The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
