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")."
