      Argot is the evolution of language, and often evolution comes with dead ends, and stunted mutant non-viable offshoots, and inefficient strangeness only suited to a particular environment, and parasitism, viruses of all types. Not to be confused with ergot which will make you talk gibberish

        Argot is any language meant to prevent understanding by outsiders. Ergot definitely works better in my sentence, though.
