I knew the term "Big Brother" came from this novel, but I didn't realize that "thought police" did as well. Both are terms that have been used enough to make sense out of context. I always find it interesting to learn the source of phrases like this.
I agree Susan! It's so interesting learning that certain words and phrases sometimes come from the most unexpected places
