I made a connection today thanks to The Cat Rotator's Quarterly.
They're talking about the demise of pig latin and describe what pig latin is.
An argot or cant.
That got me to remember "thieves cant" from D&D.
That made the connection to Cockney rhyming slang because, "an argot, or cant, is an insiders dialect."
I think that's pretty neat.
