This word has a serious Catch-22 issue going on with it.
People who use it to admit that they aren't as interested in language skills as much as getting their opinion "out there".
But the people who are Grammar Nazis see themselves as having language skills and are frustrated at what they see as the lack of care shown by people who seem to lack language skills.
Language Skills.
It's necessary to have some language skills in order to convey a message, and for that message to be able to be understood by anybody who receives it.
It's up to the person who originates the message to make sure that the people who receive the message can understand it. If they don't make sure, does that mean they are sloppy?
If a person identifies problems without suggesting a way that the author might improve, does that mean the person is being obsessively picky?
It's up for debate.
But one thing is sure. The term "Grammar Nazi" is a massive hyperbole.
Persons who believe themselves to be linguistically superior and put the spotlight on mistakes are not comparable with Nazis. Think about it.
If you feel like calling a person a Grammar Nazi, sure... the person might be supercilious and arrogant. But at the same time you're being ignorant and oversensitive.
There is no shame in learning language skills. Even if it is more than 50 years since you were at school.
Hitler was not a Grammar Nazi. But he was a Nazi.

English Teachers. They feel they are far superior in this field. Thus it is their duty to attack all mistakes.

Generally, a person who corrects others' speech or writing for the purpose of feeling superior. However, rare exceptions exist, wherein the term is applied to those who have become tired of the constant abuse of language, are not aware that their behavior warrants application of the term and are genuinely trying to help their peers, or have been editing their friends' essays for eight hours and cannot bear another misplaced preposition.
Friend 1: "Hey, that's the TV remote! Where was it at?"
GN ( malicious type) : "'At''s a preposition, don't end a sentence that way."
Former Friend 1: "Your intolerable, you malicious grammar nazi!"
Foreign Friend 2: "I will see you next next week!"
GN (genuine or unaware type): "I will see you the week after next too!"
