nerdspeak 

The common language used between two or more 'nerds', 'geeks', 'the overly intelligent' etc. Most easily identified when the group is talking about a subject so vastly complicated, that when another person, who is not familiar with said subject, tries to join in the conversation, is hopelessly, completely and utterly lost in the void of ultimate ignorance. This word can also be used when one 'nerd', 'geek', or 'overly intelligent' individual is speaking out loud and to themsevles, usually without noticing what they are doing.
geek 1: Did you catch episode 356 last night?
g2: Yeah, I did.
g1: What did you think?
g2: Oh, I thought it was good over all but lacked the suspense shown in episode 355. Also, the griggin obviously stole the Jewel of Harld, otherwise how could Mayehj have Freeze Rayed that doulf without obtaining negative force damage?
g1: Hm, you make a good point. But the Freeze Ray has a special ability which allows any vireg to encase a doulf in the Icicle of Death without obataining negative force damage. This ability is able to activate without the Jewel of Harld beacause Mayehj had, in episode 274, been granted the Sceptar of Kawe from the Princess of Weque.
g2: Ah, now I understand.

Now imagin that conversation being carried out with a completely clueless individual sitting between geek 1 and geek 2. Thus, nerdspeak.

Newspeak 

In George Orwell's dystopia "Nineteen Eighty-Four", Newspeak was the corrupted/purged language everyone was supposed to speak according to the totalitarian dictatorship which ran everything. Words with subversive potential and those which had unclear meanings were eliminated, along with references to the past. The attempt was to bring language, and therefore thought, into line with the wishes of the rulers.

It is also used to refer to any instance of politically-invented language put out through apparatuses of propaganda and social control or by spindoctors.

Words like people-trafficker, collateral damage and downsizing are examples of real-world Newspeak.
This doesn't mean you shouldn't make up new words. Nor does it mean that every political or invented word should be suspect. The point is that new words should expand meaning, not contract it. If a word is used to cover up abuses by the powerful or to manipulate people in favour of the existing regime, it's Newspeak.

newspeak 

Language of Ingsoc, a fictional empire in the book 1984. The language was meant to eliminate all words deemed as nonsence, and was created to eliminate certain words, so dissent could not be expressed nor communicated
Fantastic = doubleplusgood
excellent = plus good
good = good
bad = ungood
terrible = plusungood
horrific = doubleplusungood

this would eliminate words of "excess"
and negative words would be replaced with its positive antonym with the prefix of -un. To stress an emotion, the prefixes of -double, -plus were added. The more prefixes, the more expression is placed in the word.

Newspeak 

Contrived language of Oceania from George Orwell's "1984." It uses many English words, albeit with a greatly simplified vocabulary and sentence structure. The elimination of synonyms and antonyms helped this process. It was created in attempt to influence the thought of Oceania's citizens and make it impossible to express thoughts dangerous to Ingsoc (Newspeak for English Socialism). Today this is recognized as political correctness.

Examples:

Minitruth="Ministry of Truth" (Oceanian propaganda ministry)
Ungood="bad"
Doubleplusgood="excellent"
Doublethink=the ability to hold two contradictory thoughts at a time
B-B="Big Brother", ie the State

These translations give a rough estimate of some general rules when using Newspeak.
Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime IS death.

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
