Certain recent publications are appended with a Nadsat glossary intended for reference (also available electronically, although not necessary); much like the film, apprehending the neologisms is largely an exercise in contextualization, albeit you likely found less difficulty in ascertaining meaning in Kubrick's rendition due to a pedagogic predisposition for vocal cadence.

there's probably not any more slang in clockwork orange than has originated on 4chan over the past few years. btfo, greentext, even stuff like lolcat, etc etc

I have the copy in your pic, OP.
There is literally a translation guide at the back.
