codeword 

a word or phrase shared by a group which has a special meaning to that group

codewords are often used to hide meaning or intention from anyone not in the group

groups that use codewords extensively include commies, racists, teens, politicians, military, conservatives, cops, criminals, drug dealers, gangs, lawyers, geeks, and spies

contrast "codeword" with "shibboleth", which is a word that identifies you as belonging to a particular group but doesn't have any special meaning
"Kenyan" is a white racist codeword for "nigger", as in the sentence, "The President is really a Kenyan". It's a way for upscale white conservatives and trailer-trash rednecks to mutually share their blatantly racist concerns.

shibboleth example: "As soon as that banger said 'aight', I knew he was a member of the Two-Seven. Only those OG's still say shit like that."

weed code words 

weed code words dumb sentences that try to hide the act of smoking weed!
aka weed code or weed codes
(they are not cool or clever or even sneaky btw)
its all basically dumb people using dumb words just to be sleazy skeezy and down right bad just to be able to smoke marijuana or other gay paraphernalia from some genitalia shaped device for 5 minutes of a shitty pointless non-enlightening false high. they use weed code words in front of teachers and parents and other "know better" people because they know what they are doing is stupid and wrong and they hide it cause they don't want to get caught because its STUPID and WRONG! all drugs are. they will use anything, could be as simple as "hey wanna go HIT the punching bag later?" first of all the real code words always the verb like HIT or something representing they are going to sniff huff take a puff inhale or some other action to get high off of a joint or roach. they will make it really obvious and sometimes not at all. spotting a pothead is super simple to begin with but just in case your lame brained and un-observant you hear things like this YOU'LL KNOW!!! the reason they will always use the verb hit or something similar is because they don't wanna confuse details. many times it will be peer pressure, don't get yourself into a bad situation cause someone said "hey wanna ride bikes later on?" that's too specific they will usually use some verb or adjective that gives it all away.
"hey me and fucktard twat-dinkle cunting the fag are going to sqquuueeezzee the breeze tommorow night"

"hey me and chris or some other standard american white boy name are going to HIT up the b-ball court tonight" (why would you play basket ball at night?)
or
"yo james and i are gonna play the flute after school we might even play the pied piper" (they are obviously not musicians)
lastly
"yo man im gonna kill off a few roaches this afternoon you in or what?"(why in the absolute fuck would anyone want to hear about it or join in on that?) lol (nasty he has a roach problem!)
"haha we totally bailed class the other day because we used weed code words on our teacher and didn't get caught to go smoke!"
When you say "down" but you really mean "up". When I say "thanks" but I truly mean "eff-off". When he told me to "have a nice day" but I know he meant to say, "I hope you die". Speaking cogwords is like the backwards inverse of the truth someone will never tell you to your face.
I can't understand you when you speak cogwords.
He said I was beautiful and sexy. Girl, those were cogwords... He meant you're ugly and gross. But I disagree...
Oh, you'll thank me later when you can finally communicate effectively and everyone starts loving you.

When walking in NYC or LA, you need shitdar.

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
