* Goodsex (chastity) In Oceania the only purpose of sex is the creation of new party members.

* Free (only in statements like “This dog is free from lice.”) The concepts of “political freedom” and “intellectual freedom” do not exist in Newspeak.
* Equal (a statement such as “All men are equal.” would only mean “All men are of equal size.”) “Political Equality” doesn’t even exist as a concept in Newspeak.
* Unperson A person who had been vaporized, and all records of him/her had been wiped out. All other party members must forget that the unperson ever existed, and mentioning his/her name is thoughtcrime. (The concept that the person may have existed at one time, and has disappeared, cannot be expressed in Newspeak.) Compare to the Stalinist use of erasing people from photographs after their death.
* Facecrime (an indication that a person is guilty of thoughtcrime based on their facial expression)
* Vaporize (the same as liquidate) When people disappear, they are vaporized.
