Language

"Flabble" developed as a verb and a noun, meaning "to raise a fuss." "Don't flabble about it" would be a typical statement; so would "The damnyankees can raise a flabble about what we do."

The Freedom Party's campaign against blacks led to the euphemism "population reduction", which was used instead of "genocide." "I'll reduce your population!" became a Confederate saying; this was parodied in the United States.

Also, certain modern weapons have different names. What in our reality are called "tanks" received the name "barrels" in TL-191; "radar" became "Y-range (short for "wireless ranging")."

Famous quotes containing the word language:

    The language I have learnt these forty years,
    My native English, now I must forgo,
    And now my tongue’s use is to me no more
    Than an unstringèd viol or a harp.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Upon my tongues continual slanders ride,
    The which in every language I pronounce,
    Stuffing the ears of men with false reports.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Was there a little time between the invention of language and the coming of true and false?
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
