EINHEIT CITY SLANG


 

"Comrade" - Formal title used by UniClassers and Ministry personnel when addressing one another, in a similar manner to Mr., Mrs., Sir, Madam, etc. Generally not used among purebreds/outer class. "Comrade" is never used by UniClassers when addressing outer classers.

"Inbreeder" - UniClass derogatory slang for purebreds.

"Enemies of The People" - The label given to those accused of any form of anti-Ministry, anti-UniClass, anti-Ministry behaviour. Most commonly used by the Ministry, when referring to political dissidents, rebels, religious believers, homosexuals, and anyone else who is considered actively working to sabotage the cause of Unity. "Enemies of The City", "Enemies of Peace", or "Enemies of Unity" are other commonly used terms, with roughly the same meaning.

Gulag - An informal term for Corrective Labor Facility. (See: Laogai, Corrective Labor Facility)

Highcity - Another unofficial term for the Toride.

Laogai - An informal Sinitic-language term for Corrective Labor Facility. (See: Gulag, Corrective Labor Facility)

"Night" - Aside from its literal meaning, "night" is often used in place of the more archaic "day" in common conversation, due to the obvious fact that there simply is no day, nor has there been any for several thousands of years. Also note that "Goodnight" does not hold the bed-time farewell meaning that it did in the Time of Light, but is often used as a normal greeting instead. Examples: "Somenight we have to meet up and talk business." "I haven't had a drink in like five nights." "Last I saw him was yesternight."

"Slith" - Derogatory slang for reptiles. Derived from the word 'slither'.

"Take the White" - A slightly informal term for enlisting with the Ministry.

"White" - Slang term for the Ministry, due to the predominantly white color theme adopted by the Low Ministry. Can be derrogitory, though is sometimes used in positive context by Ministry personnel. (See: "Take the White")

"Wilnine" - Slang for wild canine (wolves, dingoes, foxes, coyotes, etc).

"xix" - Or xix Mythos. Term for the mythos of The Underqueen/Seven concept, as well as their combined "name" when speaking of the monstrous pantheon. Rarely capitalized.

"Zek"- Slang term for a Corrective Labor Facility inmate. Originated as a term for individuals presently imprisoned in the CLF system, it is now more commonly used when referring one who is of the tiny minority of ex-inmates who survived their sentence and were returned back to Einheit City. Zeks are typically broken and severely traumatized individuals. (See: Corrective Labor Facility)
