- I became expert in pretence, even to the use of vibrato, but I never learned to sound a note, stopped or open, that was not, as they say, vaccicidal.

- The users of the term “culpable homicide” are those involved in the criminal law field in Scotland, while the sayers of “vaccicidal” are the inhabitants of Anthony Burgess’ imaginary world. The former term is being used in its literal sense as an aid to precision, the other is being used metaphorically, hyperbolically, purely for effect; Anthony Burgess is not confessing to the crime of culpable vaccicide. Is he then using jargon? He has no need to give a show of learning; he might admit, though, that the sayers of “vaccicidal,” if they existed, would be using jargon.
