Definition

Another Nadsat term from "A Clockwork Orange" meaning something spectacularly good, derived from the Russian word "khorosho" (good). Despite sounding negative in English, it's actually a positive descriptor in the book's slang. The ultimate example of why context matters in made-up dystopian languages.

Example Usage

That concert last night was absolutely horrorshow—the band killed every song.
