literally 1984

Employee: Get out!
Free-thinker: this is literally 1984! Communism has gone too far
A book written by George Orwell in 1948, the title is simply derived from flipping the last 2 digits of the year it was written (1948/1984) and has nothing to do with when it is all supposed to take place. The book is mostly used to show the governments ability to control what you think simply by simplifying language. For example instead of bad there is only ungood. This stops society from thinking and only obeys what the government wants it to. And if you pay attention to the evening news you may notice this slowly happening when they talk about things and you have no idea what they mean.
1984 is a masterpiece in literature and also is considered a great warning to all societys if you believe everything you see on tv or hear on the radio.

In reference to Orwell's book 1984, to be 1984'd is to have your post deleted by the moderator of a message board.

An awesome book that everybody yells the title of despite never having read the actual damn book.
Idiot: "THIS IS EXACTLY LIKE 1984!"
Rational person: "Have you even read the book?"
Idiot: "Well...Uhhhhh..."
