  1. The word "nigger" does not come from the Spanish word, "negro", but from the Niger River in Africa, which was the area where most of the slaves came from.

  2. Just want to correct a bit: New Speak was the Ingsoc (new speak for: English socialisms) reduced language. Duck-speak or to quack like a duck was a new speak frase that was (as most new speak words) both positive and negative. To quack like a duck was to talk nonsense, but if you talked ingsock nonsense that was double-plus-good, but if anyone did any thought-crime duck speak that was double-plus-ungood.
