On the subject of odd slang, I remember reading Brave New World and
wondering what the term "pneumatic" was refering to. I've never heard
anyone use it as slang in real life, and it seemed kind of strange.

I think this relates to the list because Brave New World can be useful
as a SR corprate agenda facade. ("Come work for us, everyone is happy.")
