In George Orwell’s 1984 the government attempts to reduce expression by replacing English with a reduced form of it known as Newspeak, from which this blog takes its name. However, what if Orwell was wrong and it is the over, and not under, use of language that reduces its meaning? This blog is dedicated to that over use of language and is lovingly collected treasure trove of hyperbole, exaggeration and downright nonsense.

For this profound quote:
‘Sir Elton John and Mr Furnish have opted for traditional names for their son. Zachary is of Hebrew origin, and means ‘The Lord recalled’, while Jackson is of Old English origin and simply means ‘Son of Jack’.
