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."

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"
