big brother

It is not Spanish but English, although we use it as a reference to the iconic Big Brother ( "Big Brother") which represents the totalitarian and controlling state of the population in George Orwell's dystopian novel "1984" ("Nineteen Eighty-Four"). Towards the end of the twentieth century producer John de Mol created for television a reality show called Big Brother, where a group of people were locked in a house without knowing what is happening in the rest of the world while being watched 24 hours by live cameras; also evoking life in the cities of the Oceania created by Orwell.
