You could also just say, "Excuse me".
There is a range of ways you can ask people to get out of the way that are appropriate to most of the instances in which you might find someone in your path.
If you needed to get to the coffee stir sticks at the coffee shop but someone was blocking your access, using, "Look fuckstick, get the hell outta my way!" would be rude. I am assuming that your intention is not to be rude, rather it is just that you want access to your stir sticks...
Calling the guy in your path a "fuckstick" is pretty insulting especially when used in combination with, "get the hell outta my way."
Now, if you had said, "excuse me" a couple of times and the fuckstick didn't budge, "Look fuckstick, get the hell outta my way!" is probably more appropriate.
As for newspeak. Were we to adapt such a precise and truncated way or communication there would be no room for words like, "fuckstick" or any other expressive explitive you case to choose.
Newspeak dumbs down language and renders complex meaning impossible. It also, according the novel, makes language much more succeptable to double think (read: political manipulation of meaning).
As for "Far out", again context is everything. If I heard "far out" spoken one way, let's say with a stuffy upper class English accent it signify differently from "far out" as spoken by a California surfer.
Further context is added to the usage, "far out" in answer to the question, "How far is Pluto from the Sun?" is different from "far out" in reply to this statement, "Dude! Pluto is millions of miles from the Sun."
