What a good question. I had not really thought about it before. It would be nice to know the answer to this question.

movie - Clockwork Orange
Just looked on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Clockwork_Orange and found this. 'Burgess wrote that the title was a reference to an alleged old Cockney expression "as queer as a clockwork orange".Due to his time serving in the British Colonial Office in Malaya, Burgess thought that the phrase could be used punningly to refer to a mechanically responsive (clockwork) human (orang, Malay for "person").'
