Here is my example with WFTD.
Farewell, Huntsman and his smarmy Mandarin. Hearing the leftists discuss him, in their own peculiar argot, is laughable.

No pushing at the door please!
beyond nippy here. come in and get warm!
Cogito argot sum.
I try to write Modern Music,
But the “Gangsta” Argot escapes me.
The most popular argot these days appears to consist of strings of letters.
Who knew Morse code would become popular again?
Stop.
For the first time in my life, my government is under the control of a President who deliberately surrounded himself with an argot of advisers lacking the brains, integrity, and legal guidance that should be the basic requirements of such a position.
The liberals use their sneaky argot
To camouflage socialist cargo
Doublespeak, parsing words
Talking points—mynah birds
Works in Boston but rarely in Fargo
To wit:
... said Aunt Dahlia, returning for the nonce to the hearty _argot_
of the hunting field, "everything's been at sixes and sevens..."

It’s the Chicago way.
“Overseas brats”—young American expatriate living on or near US military bases overseas—developed a unique argot. Here’s how a conversation about a current news item might have gone between two 1960’s overseas brats in Germany:
A: I’m voting for Huntsman! Huntsman über alles!
B: Hey, pass auf, doofus! You haven’t heard that huntsman quit? Well, cut you low!
A: Really? He quit? Warum?
B: Ich weiss nicht.
A: Oh,Schade! Anyway, I’ve got to run. If I miss the Strass, Ill have to hoof it.
Vocabulary
über alles—above everything
pass auf—pay attention
doofus—fool, idiot
cut you low!—how embarrasing!; you’ve made a fool of yourself!
warum—Why
ich weiss nicht—I don’t know
Schade—pity
Strass—Strassenbahn,or street car
to hoof it—to walk
Argot.
Just means firstly that a person has been arrested, “I ar got”. No “e”, it sits there and keeps it mouth shut so if it stays home it don’t matter.
Then there’s those snails the French eat, es’argot or something foreign.
So it makes sense to use some secret language, you want everybody to know you’re eating a slimy little critter like a snail? Put salt on him and he’ll disappear!
Anyhow, keep your chins up, failure is not an option, it’s a way o’ life!
I’ve been slowly reading Ann Coulter’s “Demonic” over the last few weeks. I’d recommend getting a copy (despite her support for Mittens) and reviewing it. Aside from her close examination of the Liberal mob mentality, she reviews the argot of the mob, explaining it’s so much like a bumper sticker sloganeering, primarily meant to whip them into a frenzy.
We’re all very fortunate that most of the argot of the “Occupy” movement has not leaked out into the general culture.
All we get is “We are the 99 percent!” and that terminally annoying “People’s Microphone”. That’s more than enough!!!!
