Post by m***@gmail.com Well there were words useb by one of Alexes friends like Noći (night). Which is used by Bosnians, Croats and Serbs. But I am not sure about Russians.
I have a question concerning the "code" language used by the gang in A Clockwork Orange. Many words (e.g. "droog" for "pal", "gulliver" for "head") seemed derived from serbo-croatian. However, I couldn't get all of them, so I wondered if this language was derived from another language. Anyone has a clue? -eric
Droog (Drug) is definitely Serbian ( serbo-croatian ), but I am not sure about "gulliver" for head.

Google “slang in a clockwork orange.” it is interesting.

Fun fact: Anthony Burgess also did the cave-speak in QUEST FOR FIRE.
