When I was a kid I loved the story of Jason and the Argotnauts. A bunch of sweaty Greek men on a boat doing manly things. Almost as much fun as a gladiator movie.

Good Morning!

Argot? Yeah, I know about that. It grows on wheat and if you eat it, you go crazy.

1. A specialized and often secret vocabulary and idiom peculiar to a particular group.

The Creole language is an example of an argot.

Since argot is the language of a specific culture, wouldn’t the liberals complain that it’s elitist?

Just wondering how far they’d go to restrict speech.

Home from work and getting ready to grill some catfish-

In the argot of the left
“Discussion” means “defeat”
So they can just parse the term
And not take any heat

When the enemy is encouraged
By the cowards’ perceived gains
And send more terrorists over here
To crash a few more planes

I really wish the generals
Could tell them where to go-
Preferably far away from here
With their traveling surrender show
