[Ads-l] P.S. on "Fargone" vs. "Fargoed"

[ADSGarson O'Toole]

There are some examples of "Clockwork Orange" as a verb. I think they
refer to brainwashing or mentally programming a person. The following
is from a discussion of the "Hunger Games" trilogy.

[Begin excerpt]
This picks up shortly after a Clockwork Oranged Peeta (Josh
Hutcherson) has attempted to murder his faux wife, and poster girl for
the rebellion, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence).
