doubleplusgood

very, very good. from Orwell's "1984." as opposed to "plusgood," which means very good, and "good," which simply means, "good."

From a fictitious language called "Newspeak." Using Newspeak instead of English was supposed to prevent "thoughtcrime." (q.v.)

Oh, they renewed the Patriot Act? Doubleplusgood!
