In Orwell's 1984, part of the Party's strategy was to literally write a new dictionary. By controlling language, they would rob them of the linguistic ability to express or even think in terms critical of the Party. So in keeping with the theme "suppression of dissent":
3. Murmuring/murmurer
4. Apostate
5. Disassociate
6. Disfellowship
7. Independent thinking
8. Judicial committee
9. Public reproof
10. Marking
11. Private reproof
12. The brothers
13. Spirit-directed
14. Prideful
15. Keeping in step
16. Running ahead -
