I'm assuming your being hyperbolic or sarcastic. I don't think it's intended to mean literally a Nanos worth of a degree. More attune to just buzzword for a certificate or completed coursework.
The word "Certificate" comes with a lot of preconceived thoughts. I think they are trying to break away from with a new name
If it is not intended to mean that, perhaps Udacity should have used elements in their trademark that do not have such well-established definitions. Perhaps no one realized that the inherent meaning of "nanodegree" might be derogatory to the product?
A certificate course by any other name is still a certificate course.
