A surreptitious inclusion of code words or phrases that will be heard by some of those listening, while not disturbing the other listeners, who may not appreciate the hidden message(s).
President George W. Bush is constantly littering his speeches with dog whistle comments meant for the religious right, so that he can tell them what they wants to hear, while not offending those who aren't evangelical or born again. (paraphrase of text by Ian Welsh, on his Agonist blog)

In the Republican Southern Strategy, terms, phrases, and actions that evoke racism to racists, while being plausibly deniable to the press and the wider public. Much of this code is inherited from the pro-slavery code of the antebellum South.
The name is a reference to high-pitched dog whistles that people cannot hear, but dogs can.
The name is a reference to high-pitched dog whistles that people cannot hear, but dogs can.
Dog Whistle Code became an essential part of the Republican Southern Strategy after overt racism became unacceptable.
Barry Goldwater's Libertarianism was Dog Whistle Code for segregation at the 1964 Republican Convention.
Ronald Reagan's first Presidential campaign appearance was itself Dog Whistle Code, taking place in Philadelphia, Mississippi, the scene of the murder of three civil rights workers.
States' Rights
Originally, Dog Whistle Code for the right to keep slaves, then the right to maintain Jim Crow segregation laws, now the right to oppress any disfavored minorities, women, immigrants, GLBTs and the rest of the riffraff
Deficits don't matter (Ronald Reagan)
Because they hurt Blacks worse than Whites (Lee Atwater, explaining the Southern Strategy and Dog Whistle Code)

This expression was originally by Rednecks in the USA, but achieved wider recognition and usage due to combined operations between the US Army and British troops. It is used to describe something that is totally futile, a waste of time and effort and something you do not wish to do. By extension it can also be used to mean a person who is a waste of time and resources, someone with whom you do not wish to associate, that the world would be better off without and who is one of nature’s biggest mistakes, in short a complete and total Malcolm.

A FAT turbocharger on a engine. Comes from the whistling noise it emits while spooling as well as relieving pressure.
