You cheeky monkey, I'm not that old.
I seem to remember quisling was an American revolutionary term and a
proper name for an allegedly improper person, tectonic is older than the
squared product of our ages and probably replaces the last "C" with a
"QUE", laser is probably laser. Computer? Ordinateur, I think, and
you're right in that the Bombe (which sounds like a French word anyway)
was still a secret being developed and used some distance away near
Oxford.
Kind regards
David

Note that the Cassell behind the dictionaries is not related to me. My
family name comes from Germany, hence the pronunciation like the German
city Kassel. Monsieur Cassell of the language dictionaries has a family
name from France, and his last name has an emphasis on the second
syllable.
Now then. You have a dictionary that your *father* had back when he was
in the lower third? I would guess that there are a *lot* of words that
are not translated in that one. Computer, laser, tectonic, quisling,
...
I have no idea what the French for 'blog' is. Maybe "ordures
ennuyantes" ??
