Are you talking about Newspeak? What you describe does not sound like what I think "orwellian" usually means.

  The term "Orwellian" in describing language comes directly from the properties of Newspeak. "Orwellian" can mean other things when describing state power or surveillance technology, but in this context it is being used to describe language so the connection to Newspeak is the relevant one.

    It's straightforwardly a broad term and you have no basis for your nonsense gatekeeping.
    • UncleMeat 4y ago
      It isn’t gatekeeping. “Orwellian” has a negative connotation. It is unreasonable to describe ordinary internal jargon as such.

        If you disagree, then make an actual argument for the content of your position. This subjective word policing is pathetic and unconvincing.
