bullet::::- he had overheard the phrase "as queer as a clockwork orange" in a london pub in 1945 and assumed it was a cockney expression. in "clockwork marmalade", an essay published in the "listener" in 1972, he said that he had heard the phrase several times since that occasion. he also explained the title in response to a question from william everson on the television programme "camera three" in 1972, "well, the title has a very different meaning but only to a particular generation of london cockneys. it's a phrase which i heard many years ago and so fell in love with, i wanted to use it, the title of the book. but the phrase itself i did not make up. the phrase "as queer as a clockwork orange" is good old east london slang and it didn't seem to me necessary to explain it. now, obviously, i have to give it an extra meaning. i've implied an extra dimension. i've implied the junction of the organic, the lively, the sweet – in other words, life, the orange – and the mechanical, the cold, the disciplined. i've brought them together in this kind of oxymoron, this sour-sweet word." nonetheless, no other record of the expression being used before 1962 has ever appeared. kingsley amis notes in his "memoirs" (1991) that no trace of it appears in eric partridge's "dictionary of historical slang".
