The whole point of argot is to change so rapidly and be so incomprehensible that nobody who doesn’t live the life of the speakers can understand it, let alone speak it.
If our surly local argonauts don’t like the way we use their language – that’s fair. I don’t like the way they use mine, either. But at least mine moves slowly enough they have a prayer of learning it, if they are so inclined.
