Just FYI, this phrase originates with a literal neonazi.

Even a stopped Nazi clock is right twice a day.
And I'm using it against a literal neonazi. Seems fair to me.
Interesting fact, thanks.
As they say though, even a broken clock can be right twice a day
Use of a phrase doesn't automatically imply agreement with its originator.
Broken clock as speed isn't right or offset? Doesn't seem to work
For the phrase, "broken" specifically means "stopped", and the clock is analog. If the hands don't turn, then they will be correct twice per day.
