Do professors appreciate this or do you just pass off as a kiss-ass?

>noting is happening there other than blunt dictionary substitution
A great deal of words make use of cross-language agglutination, false friend homophony and orthographic adaptation quite creatively.
>what hidden layer of secret delight
I made no claims about some deeper insight from my multilingualism in this particular case. I merely found Nadsat aesthetically pleasing in a number of ways.
>knowing russian makes the novel worse both by disrupting that function
It's not disrupted in any way. As you pointed out the terms are quite alien from the viewpoint of both languages and they do remain alien to those able to speak both. The knowledge only affects the amount of pleasure one derives after deciphering.
>how lazy the author was to not even bother learning the basics of russian grammar to do something actually interesting with this "russified english"
But he did. You just keep parroting the same stuff about "litso". Did you actually read the book or just the annotation blurb?

Indeed because it's a perfectly accurate representation of your pseud tripe and cannot be refuted.
