Argot is the special set of words a particular group uses among themselves. French used it for the private talk of criminals — a way not to be understood by outsiders. English borrowed it, and we still feel that closed-door flavour: an argot can be the slang of a street group, or the in-talk of a job. Though actually, teachers and everyday speakers more often say slang or . Slang is wider and more casual; is the technical talk of a field, not always secret. Argot sits closer to “our words, not theirs.” It is a rather literary word in English.
行話、黑話、隱語（某一圈子自己才懂的話；早期多半指地下社會的切口）
組成Borrowed from French argot, of unknown origin — so there is no older story to tell with confidence.
