Description

Join us in our linguistic dystopia as we proles explore the language of George Orwell. We’ll be discussing newspeak and oldspeak, and attempting to double-think all under the watchful eye of Big Brother… hoping that we won’t get thrown into Room 101… somewhere Gyles has been before actually. 
Elsewhere we’ll be dissecting Orwell’s six rules of writing, Gyles encourages Susie to write a novel, and we discover more about Orwell’s nom du plume, his moniker, his nickname if you will…
As always, a trio of words from Susie to add to your collection, and Gyles struggles to talk with a mouth full of sausages…
Susie’s Trio:
Angel Visit - a catch up with a friend that’s all too rare
Pseudologist - a liar
Sunwake - the reflection of the sun on the surface of the sea
A Somethin' Else production.
