		The use of jargon by outsiders is considered by insiders to be socially inappropriate, since it consitutes a claim to be a member of the insider group.
		Jargon is used for instance in sports, where technical sportsman terms but also sport-related metaphors for other events in life are used by sports fans for the aforementioned purposes.
		The jargon of "jargoning" itself evolved from a pleasant association about the time of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who referred in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner to the "sweet" jargoning of birds to today's usage, which is "unpleasant sounds I don't understand".

	jargon - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about jargon
		Jargon can be subcategorized as, for example, bureaucratese or officialese (the usage of bureaucrats and officials), journalese (the language of newspapers), and medicalese (the usage of doctors), and so on.
		In writing, jargon may be highly formal, whereas in speech it often contains slang expressions.
		Jargon is necessary, since engineers, doctors, carpenters, and other specialists need more terms to describe the intricacies of their trade to one another than an outsider would need to know.

Jargon can also mean clumsy language that is hard to understand, synonymous with gibberish or gobbledygook, or a mixture of languages that serves different people (see lingua franca).
