Many words in the English language are a part of common, everyday speech.

On the other
hand, jargon is like a type of shorthand between members of a particular group of people, often
words that are meaningless outside of a certain context. Another term that is sometimes used
interchangeably with jargon is "lingo," which isn't exactly the same as slang words. Following are
some examples of jargon that will help illustrate the concept.
