---
Almost invariably these words—goodthink, Minipax, prolefeed, sex-crime, joycamp, Ingsoc, bellyfeel, thinkpol and countless others—were words of two or three syllables, with the stress distributed equally between the first syllable and the last. The use of them encouraged a gabbling style of speech, at once staccato and monotonous. And this was exactly what was aimed at. The intention was to make speech, and especially speech on any subject not ideologically neutral, as nearly as possible independent of consciousness.

George Orwell. 1984 (1949)
