Bay 1984

[Mofra]

The 9.8% of posters here who read will be familiar with George Orwell's fantastic work 1984
In 1984 he introduces the concepts of double-speak and Ingsoc, basically a new way of speaking to re-frame certain concepts (Foucault would be proud).

Pretty simple thread - just provide a better way of speaking so we can do away with clumsy terms and more accurately convey meanings.
Like: 3rd tall = 4th short

A few submissions from notable AFL identities:
(Bevo) Midfielder = ruck
(B Scott) Press Conference = airing of grievances
(Hardwick) Cotchin = professional sub

Disappointing.

I thought this would be a "what the Bay would be like circa 1984" thing.

[Cyclops]

(Every Ch.7 flog) Collingwood vs St Kilda is footy's greatest rivalry [gets handed a slip of paper] Collingwood vs Essendon is footy's greatest rivalry!

(L Hodge) Nepotistic blather=great call Hammer!

Disappointing.

Well if it was 1984 some Blue floggo would roll up and piss on a promising thread.

BT must have mentioned it 50 or 60 times across his games.

The Crows one was packed. All the others had thousands or tens of thousands of empty seats.

Its like he didn't think we could see the half empty stands

Boy oh boy wowee

 

[Mesc]

(Lowers the eyes) Actually thinks about the team and kicks to a team mate like what is trained from junior days.

( A lick of the Icecream ) FFS really? I'ts called a reward and a positive show of chemistry and culture from your team.

( Sold the candy ) WTF! Are we American here.... ? You sidestepped or bluffed your opponent !

( Grabbed the Pill ) Again ! Quit the American terms... You gained possession of the ball..

 

[Stokey]

(Luke Darcy) He's a champion. He can do things no other player can = every single player in the AFL

 

[FurTheWin]

Disappointing.

Before the wonders of electronic communication, people had to make do with what they found in newspapers.
Like "Cash No Good: Straight Sets Exit"

[Linda Lovelace]

Orwell was a filthy rat informant who sold a bunch of his own friends - who may have been lefty beatniks but certainly weren't Soviet spies - out to the state secret police just to try and get laid (unsuccessfully).

His other most famous work was later bought by the CIA and turned into a literal propaganda film (which everyone has uncritically lapped up like good little proles).

Treacherous stooge simp who was the lap dog of the police state = forever synonymous with the dangers of a police state.

That's some f*cking quality Newspeak right there.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Uncharacteristic error by Martin --------> For ****s sake, Dusty's kicked it out on the full again.
