A Clockwork Orange

A Clockwork Orange is a book and movie with many different levels. The most obvious level is the theme of violence and 'ultra-violence'. A bunch of droogs get-off and take joy in terrorizing others. On that level it is an extreme example to those that do not feel self-empowered. This makes it a cult classic. On other levels it is also about learning self-constraint and how we alienate others by selfishly fulfilling our own needs before those of others, and on yet another level, it shows how being short sighted and trying to race to the end of a learning process can actually completely defeat the process. The story clearly shows that 'law' tries to subvert its criminals via brainwashing, but if someone doesn't learn to change for themselves, then you are only just holding them prisoner.

It is a book/movie I highly recommend for the analytical types. There are many levels to it and although there are some scenes that may disturb the faint-of-heart, it is worth it for the rest of the movie.

The movie A Clockwork Orange gives deep insight into those of us that feel alienated and yet self-empowered. It reinforces the feeling that I may do as I please, without regard to the repercussions. Thankfully I don't actually want to rape people.

cat clocking

When you catch an individual looking at you and they immediately look away only to look back at you soon after. A phrase derived from the old fashion cat clocks that would move their eyes from side to side as the seconds went by.

Dennis: " Have you seen who's here at the party?"
Alex: " Yeah man, looks like Torran made it after all"
Dennis: " You think he knows you are here?"
Alex : "Of course he knows I'm here, he's been cat clocking me since I got here. Acting like he hasn't seen me" "He knows he owes me money"

clock weights

Testicles, esp. pendulous ones

"So I kick open the door to the locker room and Fred's bent over in front of his locker, and I'm seeing his starfish and clock weights. My retinas are burning."

Clocking you

This occurs when someone follows your typical movements over a period of time as part of a plan, such as an escape or a crime.

The inmates were clocking you and the Sergeant's cell checks to time a drug deal.
