i am back with more linguistic gems from the green service.

i have pondered over two more words. doublejob and paperplay. those who have read 1984 will notice how they seem to be words out of a Newspeak dictionary.

doublejob implies an action or set of actions that increase one's workload redundantly. the same outcome/output can be achieved through a subset of that action or set of actions alone. it must be noted that the solution to the problem is contained within the action or set of actions in the doublejob, just that it is mixed with needless excesses.

paperplay refers to the alteration of paper work to suit the situation. this can mean either backdating a document, or forging certain details to paint a picture prematurely, et cetera. it must be noted that paperplay is not forgery in the incriminating sense of the word. paperplay is done to give flexibility to situations, thereby cutting down the wastage of time and unnecessary burdens which are an unfortunate product of red tape.
