Argot is a specialized language or jargon used by a particular group, often to communicate in a way that is not easily understood by outsiders. It can include unique words, phrases, or expressions that hold specific meanings within the group. This form of communication is commonly found in various communities, such as criminals, artists, or professionals in certain fields. The purpose of argot is to create a sense of identity and belonging among members of the group while also providing a level of secrecy. For example, teenagers may use slang as their own form of argot, allowing them to express themselves and connect with peers while keeping their conversations less accessible to adults.
