    You can thank your compatriots for this horror show. Huh. There’s a double entendre there if you’re familiar with the Russian language, or if you’ve read A Clockwork Orange.

      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.
