  2. garble
    make false by mutilation or addition

  3. abbreviate
    shorten
    Each contained a message of only one or two lines, in the abbreviated jargon--not actually Newspeak, but consisting largely of Newspeak words--which was used in the Ministry for internal purposes.
  4. indoctrinate
    teach uncritically
    A few agents of the Thought Police moved always among them, spreading false rumours and marking down and eliminating the few individuals who were judged capable of becoming dangerous; but no attempt was made toindoctrinate them with the ideology o
  5. collate

  7. co-ordinated
    being dexterous in the use of more than one set of muscle movements

  8. palimpsest
    a manuscript on which more than one text has been written
    All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.
  9. proliferate
    grow rapidly
    It was curious how that beetle-like type proliferated in the Ministries: little dumpy men, growing stout very early in life, with short legs, swift scuttling movements, and fat inscrutable faces with very small eyes.
  10. gesticulate
    show, express, or direct through movement
    In the long, windowless hall, with its double row of cubicles and its endless rustle of papers and hum of voices murmuring into speakwrites, there were quite a dozen people whom Winston did not even know by name, though he daily saw them hurrying to and f
  11. delete
    cut or eliminate
    He knew that in the cubicle next to him the little woman with sandy hair toiled day in day out, simply at tracking down and deleting from the Press the names of people who had been vaporized and were therefore considered never to have existed.
  12. fulminate
    cause to explode violently and with loud noise
    He might be denouncing Goldstein and demanding sterner measures against thought-criminals and saboteurs, he might be fulminating against the atrocities of the Eurasian army, he might be praising Big Brother or the heroes on the Malabar front--it ma

    Newspeak, doublethink, the mutability of the past.

    At the heart of it, magnified by the curved surface, there was a strange, pink,convoluted object that recalled a rose or a sea anemone.
  16. crumple
    gather something into small wrinkles or folds
    He took a cigarette from a crumpled packet marked VICTORY CIGARETTES and incautiously held it upright, whereupon the tobacco fell out on to the floor.
  17. ideologically

    And a few cubicles away a mild, ineffectual, dreamy creature named Ampleforth, with very hairy ears and a surprising talent for juggling with rhymes and metres, was engaged in producing garbled versions--definitive texts, they were called--of poems which
  18. wispy
    thin and weak
    A colourless, crushed-looking woman, with wispy hair and a lined face, was standing outside.
  19. identifiable

    Whether she was really an agent of the Thought Police, or simply an amateur spy actuated by officiousness, hardly mattered.

    It was their delight, their folly, their anodyne, their intellectual stimulant.
  23. saccharine

  24. documentation
    confirmation that some fact or statement is true
    This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs--to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold
  25. submerge

    Mere debauchery did not matter very much, so long as it was furtive and joyless and only involved the women of a submerged and despised class.

  28. aureole

  29. implicate

    Very occasionally some person whom you had believed dead long since would make a ghostly reappearance at some public trial where he would implicatehundreds of others by his testimony before vanishing, this time for ever.
  30. garbled

    And a few cubicles away a mild, ineffectual, dreamy creature named Ampleforth, with very hairy ears and a surprising talent for juggling with rhymes and metres, was engaged in producing garbled versions--definitive texts, they were called--of poems
  31. debase

    It would have been inconceivably dangerous even if he had known how to set about doing it.
  34. waddle
    walk unsteadily

  35. inscribe

  37. jostle

  42. camaraderie
    the quality of affording easy familiarity and sociability

  43. improvise
    manage in a makeshift way; do with whatever is at hand
    He had even started humming to an improvised tune

  44. venerate

    The telescreen had changed over to strident military music.

    In the low-ceilinged canteen, deep underground, the lunch queue jerked slowly forward.
  97. predominate
    be larger in number, quantity, power, status or importance

  98. zealot

  109. alcove
