QX, on the beam, crazier than a Rigellian cateagle, that guy has enough jets to launch a freighter from a Velarian pole, thionite dream, 7th sector call out,

Doc E. E Smith had some damn weird slang in lensman. I just finished up reading his series last week and, although i didn't love it, I did appreciate his attempts to have a standout lingo.

Any other favourite linguisitic examples from your MR'ers?
