Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Argot refers to a specialized or jargon language used by a particular group, such as criminals or members of a specific profession. When this language becomes commonly used outside of the specific group and is adopted by wider society as a form of slang, it is absorbed into mainstream language. Examples of argot turned slang include "cool" or "dude" originating from African-American Vernacular English and "hacker" becoming a widely used term for computer experts.
