    There’s a double entendre there if you’re familiar with the Russian language

    As a Russian speaker, I don’t understand this. Could you elaborate?

      “Horrorshow” is the Nadsat word that Alex used in A Clockwork Orange to mean “good”. It’s a bastardized transliteration of хорошо.

        Ah. OK. Not immediately recognizable, but clear now.
