Masamune no Hi
Also, for those that don't understand the title of A Clockwork Orange, it isn't really an orange. Orange is actually a pun on Orang, Malay for 'person.'


You've got that right me droogie. Nasdat can chill your gullywuts, making your golova spin round.

I personally loved the book and Nasdat. I love made up languages because it's facinating what people come up with. Heck, I like languages period and think that it's so cool when someone speaks many different languages (I myself only speak English, some Spainish, and Nasdat if it counts). It's not completely made up though it's a mixture of Russian, Gypsy, school boy talk, Cockney rhyming slang and some influence from the King James Bible. Burgess mixed them together added some of his own word and came up with Nasdat (which is the Russian suffix for teen). I think that it was a clever invention and I read that editors like it because it masked scenes that would have been unprintable in the 60's.
