Ex. 1:
Joe: Hey, what's your opinion on Daniel and Ash?
Ash: Ehhh, they both were kinda pricks back in middle school, ya know, with hazing and all, but they're pretty alright now, I think. I don't mean to drag them for it though, it's in the past.
Ex. 2:
Jenna: Oh my God, did you hear about how Daniel cheated on Angela?! What an asshole.
Claire: Yeah, like, that's not even the first time he's cheated. Remember Rebecca? He's a total manwhore. We should let everyone know what kinda tool he is, especially the new girl.
Jenna: Yaaaaaas, drag his ass, girl. Fuck him!

A cryptolect, an argot, and/or a set of secretive low-key code word terminologies (also known as thieves' argot, rogues' cant, or peddler's French) used by thieves, beggars, vagabonds, criminals and hustlers in primarily of Great Britain in the early 16th century onwards until falling completely out of use in all language and literature by the late Victorian Era.
Simply put, it was the speakeasy, lowkey language and/or code word in itself, at the time used to avoid tipping off less knowledgeable agents of law enforcement.
The term was likely devised by the self declared "King of the Gypsies of Derbyshire's Devil's Arse", now known Peak Cavern, by either at the time Richard Skelton and/or/both his soon to be successor Cock Lorel (his real name a mystery, lost to time, but his pseudonym meaning rascal leader) and their band of misfits who either preyed upon the rich or all folk of the Shires of Britain at the time.
The term became extremely popular after literature of the 16 and mostly 17th centuries would depict the lives, both fictional and real, of these rogues, both recent and historic at the time, by modernfolk who could read to those who could not, usually at less reputable pubs or "public houses"at the time.
In modern times, it's used primarily by geeks who play tabletop RPGs or those who have a keen interest in histoical literature. Some secretive clever groups of our society today might adopt the code for their own use in secretive deeds.
