Definition

Nadsat slang from "A Clockwork Orange" meaning "face," borrowed from Russian. It's part of Anthony Burgess's fictional youth language that mixed Russian, English, and pure invention. Using it in real conversation marks you as either a devoted Kubrick fan or someone who really commits to their literary references.

Example Usage

After walking into that glass door, my litso was red for an hour from embarrassment.
