I found it interesting that the kids were using Russian slang words like "horrorshow" (хорошо) for "good," "droog" (друг) for "friend," and "starry loodies" (старыe люди) for "old people." This was probably because they were required to learn it in school, since they lived in a Communist country and Russian is the lingua franca of Communism. During the Cold War, students in Hungary, East Germany and other members of the East Bloc were required to study Russian in school.

As a teen I read it and memorized Nadsat and annoyed everyone by randomly speaking it all summer.
I was lucky no one tolchocked me upside the gulliver.
Good times.
Right horrorshow, even.
