Identifying Newspeak: A True Story

When the fifty-ish gentleman from Dresden on your right hears a speaker utter a phrase and then rolls his eyes and mutters under his breath "Deutsche Demokratische Republik"....

that means the speaker might be indulging in Newspeak!

Or, possibly, marketing.
 
Comments:
I've been asked what the speaker was saying to provoke this reaction. Even if I could remember precisely, I wouldn't be able to publish it on the Internet.
