Horrorshow Vellocet

I have used the word droogs in the book. Some resilient, teenage part of me finds this very cool. The phrase it was used in was: ‘By the 1970s, a thriving subculture existed which can only be described as resembling the droogs from Clockwork Orange on motorbikes.’ Unfortunately, droog is the only bit of Nadsat in the book. There’s no horrorshow Vellocet, Luscious Glory, Millicent or Prestoopnik although the English equivalents get good outings except maybe Luscious Glory. The book is short on Luscious Glory.
